[T3] Brake bleeding (update pt. 2)

[Henrik Larsson <notchback@home.se>]

Today I replaced the two short hoses and checked the two pipes between
the reservoir and the master cylinder. There is still no less air in the
fluid when I try to bleed the brakes. Arrgh!!!

There is a never ending amount of air in the fluid at all four wheels,
something that makes me think the master cylinder itself could be the
cause. Strange sounds ("knirr knak" :-) can be heard from the MC when
the brake pedal is released. The car passed the annual swedish goverment
car test a month ago without any problems, but perhaps all this exercise
has made a seal in the MC go bad. If the secondary seal is bad, wouldn't
that allow air to be sucked in when the brake pedal is released?
