I'm betting someone here has an answer. The Car: '73 2.0, 90,000 miles. 19mm master cylinder. Brake proportioning valve. New Zimmerman rotors and Ferodo pads front and rear. New inner and outer front bearings. New fluid. All parts installed by reputable shop in Silicon Valley. Master Cylinder not leaking. The Problem: Pedal pressure only results in gliding to a stop. Unable to lock the wheels.
Any ideas what's going on? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

Erik,
After the shop did the work, didn't they road test the car? they should have caught that.... with power bleeders that most shops have these days you would think they would have gotten all the air out, but if they didn't road test it how would they know.
