By "good pressure" I assume you mean that you got good flow/pressure out of the bleed valves on the back wheels, but not out of the front wheels. If this is what you meant, then you need to find, and fix, the reason that you aren't getting flow to the front wheels. There might be a problem any number of places, but if it is poor on BOTH front wheels then there is probably a problem in some common spot. The only common spots that I can think of are where the fluid enters the MC. Perhaps the input hose, or the Tee, or rust/dirt in the "new" MC inlet point. I'd disconnect one of the steel lines from the MC to one of the front wheels and work forward or back, depending on the results. See if there is good flow right out of the MC. If so, the rubber lines may be deteiorating and may just need to be replaced - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
