OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi 0A5-141-671-F is a hydraulic clutch slave-cylinder assembly with an integrated release bearing. At the matching factory release arrangement, hydraulic pressure from the clutch master cylinder operates the slave assembly, and the release bearing acts on the pressure plate to disengage the clutch.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: 0A5-141-671-F / 0A5141671F.
- Assembly type: hydraulic clutch slave cylinder with integrated release bearing.
- Application: matching transverse six-speed manual clutch release arrangements identified below.
- Quantity supplied: one slave-cylinder/release-bearing assembly.
- Clutch, flywheel, master cylinder, hydraulic line, fluid and separately specified mounting parts are not included.
Confirm the gearbox code, original mounting profile, hydraulic connection and clutch release geometry before ordering. This is not a universal bearing for every six-speed gearbox. Modified clutch systems must explicitly specify compatibility with this original release arrangement. DSG and other automatic transmissions do not use this manual-clutch assembly.
Common reasons to replace
- A diagnosed leak is traced to the slave-cylinder assembly.
- Inspection identifies damage or wear at the release bearing.
- A diagnosed clutch-release fault requires renewal of the slave or bearing.
- The original assembly is damaged, or the prescribed clutch service calls for its replacement.
Clutch pedal, release and noise symptoms can also result from the master cylinder, hydraulic line, clutch, flywheel or other components. Diagnose the actual fault before selecting parts. Replacing this assembly alone does not correct a worn clutch disc, damaged pressure plate or separate hydraulic leak.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory transmission and clutch-release service procedure for the exact gearbox. Support the vehicle and drivetrain using the prescribed equipment. Inspect the clutch, flywheel, hydraulic connection and mounting surfaces while the assembly is accessible.
Fit the slave-cylinder/release-bearing assembly using the prescribed original mounting and hydraulic connection procedure. Renew separately specified seals or single-use hardware where required. Follow the factory handling instructions for the concentric slave cylinder; do not operate the release system while dismantled unless the service procedure specifically permits it.
Use the specified hydraulic fluid and the factory bleeding procedure, then check the serviced connection for leaks and verify clutch operation. Complete the prescribed gearbox and clutch functional checks after reassembly. Consult the exact vehicle and gearbox repair information for tightening values and assembly steps.
