When to Replace Brake Master Cylinder?
What is the collective experience, how long does the brake master cylinder last?
Time?
Miles?
Replace with 100K major mantenance?
What do you think/what did you do?
My car will be eight years old next month, it's on my mind!

My 1999 had a master cylinder problem that was causing the front brakes to hold pressure. It only has 27,000 miles on it. The fluid looked contaminated but flushing it out did not help. I replaced the master cylinder for under 200 hundred dollars.
I would not mess with it unless there is something wrong with it. Flushing the fluid probably would not hert.
