The brakes on my 914 are useless, the master cylinder was leaking so I have replaced it and bleed the brakes..........and they are still useless although not spongy. I understand these cars are not servo-assisted like modern cars but it doesn't matter how hard I press the brake pedal the wheels never ever lock. Am I expecting too much?
