This just started happening. I'm cruising down the road, go to a stoplight...

step on the brakes...and nothing. start downshifting and pumping the brakes and they come back.

Where do i start? any experts who arent at the WCC??

Shane, don't answer, because i already know you know nothing!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I might be in the minority (what's new?) but I'm with Mueller and a couple of others - I think the master cylinder is failing. Don't be fooled if it's not leaking. They don't always leak when they fail.

it definately COULD be the M/C, all I was saying was try the simple and easy first... have I mentioned I hated replacing my M/C when I did it?!

but I still did it, simply because the car had been sitting for a year... brakes are the most important aspect of these, or any cars... what's the good in GOING, if you can't stop? on our cars, the Brakes are the only safety equipment... why take any chances?
