Jaime, If it helps, I found myself fruitlessly fretting over a low brake pedal until I accurately adjusted the brake shoes on all four wheels. When the brake shoes are adjusted close to (barely scraping) the drums, then the brake pedal should resist your foot near the beginning (top?) of its travel. Take care and good luck, John Kowalski (at work) Zagreb, Croatia ------------- Original Text From: type3@vwtype3.org, on 1998.10.19 09:51: To: <type3@vwtype3.org> " On properly adjusted brakes, about how much room should be left between the brake pedal and the floor when the brakes are depressed fully? "Bentley says about 5 to 7 mm (3/16 to 9/32 in.) "Use your fingertips tomove the pedal so you can feel the pushrod make contact with the mastercylinder piston." Section 2, pg 6. The measurement relative to thefloor is not mentioned, just as I wrote above. And, it really doe smakea big difference if it is out of adjustment.Jaime Gurrola-------------------------------------------------------------------Li st info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
