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? |

I have re-read your posts and I have a few questions:
1. In one of the Bosch article posted, they (Bosch) make a distinction for the pressure proportioning valves for a given design. Static and Dynamic. Which Tilton valve did you install? 2. The output curve for the Tilton valve you installed...if I am understanding your post, looks linear. Doesn't that indicate that it is a static proportioning valve? 3. Are you planning to use the stock master cylinder and drive this car on the street? |
