Genuine OE Concentric Slave Cylinder (Release Bearing) – 0A5-141-671P

Genuine OE Concentric Slave Cylinder (Release Bearing) – 0A5-141-671P This is the genuine original equipment (OE) concentric slave cylinder, also known as the clutch release bearing, supplied under part number 0A5-141-671P. It is the same component fitted by the manufacturer at the factory, ensuring correct fitment, materials, and operation in your vehicle’s clutch system. The concentric slave cylinder (CSC) sits inside the gearbox bellhousing and combines the clutch release bearing with the hydraulic slave cylinder in one unit. When you press the clutch pedal, hydraulic fluid pushes this component against the clutch pressure plate, allowing you to change gear smoothly. Because it is a wear item that operates every time you use the clutch, replacement is essential when fitting a new clutch kit or when symptoms of failure appear. What it does Transfers hydraulic pressure from the clutch master cylinder to disengage the clutch. Provides the rotating bearing surface against the pressure plate fingers. Maintains consistent pedal feel and clean gear changes. Common signs of a failing slave cylinder A worn or failing CSC often shows up as a soft or sinking clutch pedal, difficulty selecting gears, a noticeable bearing noise when the clutch is depressed, or visible hydraulic fluid loss inside the bellhousing. If any of these symptoms appear, replacement is the only fix as the unit is sealed and cannot be serviced. Why fit a Genuine OE part As an authorised retailer of genuine parts, we recommend OE for clutch hydraulic components. The internal seals, bearing tolerances, and mounting geometry are matched precisely to the gearbox and clutch assembly. Aftermarket alternatives can vary in quality, and a failed slave cylinder requires gearbox removal to replace, so fitting the correct part first time is the sensible choice. Fitment This 0A5 gearbox-coded slave cylinder is fitted to a range of popular VW Group vehicles using the 0A5 manual transmission, including various Audi, VW, SEAT and Skoda models. Please use the vehicle lookup on this page or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm this part suits your exact vehicle before ordering. Installation notes Important: The slave cylinder should always be replaced when fitting a new clutch. Gearbox removal is required for access, so combining this job with a clutch change avoids repeating the work later. After fitting, the clutch hydraulic system must be properly bled to remove all air, ideally using a pressure or vacuum bleeder, to ensure correct pedal feel and reliable clutch operation.
