After replacing all 4 flexible brake lines I was unable to successfully bleed the system. Brakes worked fine before I started. Replaced the master cylinder (turned out it was needed by looking at it). Bled the system and got a good pedal. Left the car for a while. Came back to find pedal nearly to the floor. There is no evidence of any leakage. Any ideas out there?

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I bet it has somthing to do with the proportioning (sp?) valve. On other cars I have run into this problem before, once even going through a 4 liter jug of fluid! I finally gave up and cracked the lines as I blead. Guess what? IT WORKED. I don't recommend this method (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) but 'what the hey'! It was messy though.
