It sounds like there is a problem with the master cylinder or the feed lines. When I replaced the MC on my '71, I had problems bleeding the brakes. I found that one of the little plastic nipples coming out of the MC was cracked, and letting in a little bit of air, but did not leak fluid. I got another nipple from Jim Adney, and that fixed the problem. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
