On my '91 Carat, the brakes are stopping fine, but I notice when I'm stopped at a light with my foot on the peddle, it slowly starts to fall, allowing the van to move forward slightly. If I pump the peddle just once, it's fine again, but then again slowly falls. Is this a master cylinder going bad or what? Anybody ever have this symptom? If it is the master c, (sounds like a rapper), any opinions on original part versus Brazilian VW part? I think Bus Depot, for example, sells both. Thanks. Sam '89 & '91 Carats |
