The brake pedal on my 914-6 is very spongy, even after repeated bleeding with a pressure bleeder. I isolated the problem to the brake-proportioning valve or pressure regulator. I cannot seem to get the brakes properly bled with this valve in the system.
I've read other posts by some here and it seems this valve is a source of some debate . Is there some trick to bleeding the brakes with it? Do I need to bleed the brakes the old-fashioned way, have someone push on the brake pedal? |

Wrong move. All the Tilton can do is reduce fluid flow to your rear calipers effectively reducing your overall braking performance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
