How to Replace the Master Cylinder of the Clutch on the Volkswagen Golf MK7?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Clutch

Thanks to the tutorial video available here, you will have a clear idea of how to carry out the work described, which is not very easy, but with some effort and skill, it can be tackled. Open the front bonnet, proceed to remove the air filter box and the manifold to create space for working, then disconnect the cable clip for the wires supplying the cylinder in question, and for now, there is nothing else to do here; move to the cabin. Now, remove the lower part of the dashboard on the driver's side to access the cylinder, located under the clutch pedal, and remove it. For the installation of the replacement part, proceed in reverse order.
