Gents,
I have done the searches, watched some video, looked up stuff, rebuilt my calipers, replaced the MC, soft brake lines, and some hard lines, new pads and hardware, adjusted the venting clearance on the rear pads, speed bleeders...probably going on about $600 all in on this brake system so far...bled , then bled, then bled some more using a pressure bleeder...still a soft pedal and red blinky brake dash light when the pedal goes to the floor. I tried to do the pedal bleed, but it didn't seem like the fluid was moving. When I switched to the pressure bleeder, the fluid started coming out...no air bubbles. What am I missing? Adjust the venting again? If I did that wrong, does it screw up the whole system? Car runs, is looking good...needs to STOP. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

I bet the MC has a split seal. New or not it sounds like the MC is not building pressure. I had the same issue. Searched everywhere, fixed everything. Took the MC out. Took it apart and there is was. Mine was a 17mm so I could not find parts. Just bought another.
Won't hurt to take it apart and look at it. |
