Re: [T3] Fasty Brake Problem


Dont bother to keep bleeding... if it doesnt bleed out in a few pumps on
each wheel then there is something wrong that needs to be fixed.  If the
reservoir goes down then it must be going somewhere... and most likely
leaking out in the section of firewall in front of the pedals or by the acc
pedal as that line rusts out often there.

You may have dirt in the MC... or a bad rear seal, but dont buy a new MC...
most have been on the shelf so long now that the bore's are all rusty, seals
taken a set or worse... get a good ATE rebuilt kit and rebuild yours.  You
may need to get it honed but thats easier than having to make 3 return trips
to the FLAPS.

Been there... returned that!
