I had a local 914 specialist go over my car after I bought it. Among the things he did was replace all of the rubber brake lines, which were getting weepy. So the system was bled recently.
I expect unassisted brakes to require a lot of effort, and these do. But the pedal never totally firms up. Even when I'm exerting enough force to lock up a wheel, there is still travel. It feels like a spring that can keep stretching. At some point, the pedal should get hard. Maybe not rock hard, but more like squishing a rubber puck than stretching a spring. No? I also found a little brake fluid on the floor of my garage. But there does not appear to be any leaking around the cover that hides the master cylinder, steering rack, etc. Maybe its from the reservoir drain? The reservoir is full. Thanks for your thoughts! |
