« on: 17 November 2010, 20:34 »
going to get a second hand brake master cylinder  (long story but its the next step)  should i get one with a serfvo attached as i hav prob with brake system even after full strip down, if i get servo as well i will need a vag com to get all air out system? or is it just wise to get the servo at same time?


cheers

well quick story lol when i start car and only when i start car after a small period of time being off say reversing out a space when braking pedal all soft and dwn to the floor it goes then pump it again and all good off i go and it doesnt do it again untill it switched off for a while

had full brake system bleed and clean 170 quid later the next day it was back i was told the next step is the master brake cylinder and since i gonna get that done i was asking if i should just buy a unit with the servo attached? prob has come about since lowering car but all parts checked and no splitting stretching or leaking.
