Hello First off. Thanks for all the quick responses to my question. Wow you guys are cool!! I have bled they system with a pressure bleeder. there are no leaks in my system. The rear brakes are adjusted close to the wheel drum. The brake pedal will be hard at times then it will just go down to the floor, maybe just a little pressure. The pedal is never really hard I can feel pressure starting to buld then it hits bottom...... --- Steven Ayres <comwest@att.net> wrote: > Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 14:05:41 -0700 > From: Steven Ayres <comwest@att.net> > To: type3@vwtype3.org > Subject: Re: Fwd: Re: [T3] Master cylinder > > DavidF=> ... has a dual-circuit MC in it now.
