Is there any chance that you've installed your calipers on the wrong sides? The bleed valves should be on the bottoms. When you bleed, do you get fluid out of all 4 bleed valves? Does the fluid flow under gravity just by opening the valves? If you let your old MC just lie around, it will be destroyed by internal rust. After a year it may already be too late. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
