I have read over the years about squishy brakes on the vanagon. I recently began having the opposite problem oddly enough.
I have never really thought of my brakes as squishy until about 2 months ago.. when without warning..for several seconds the brakes [ my brake pedal pressure] WORK REALLY REALLY WELL.
It is like a whole different car. Just a light tap - lotsa stop power..
and then it is back to regular performance. Happens once every two weeks now without any reason I can detect. I guess I have been a Squishy the whole time and did not realize. I would love to track down this behavior source. But the twice a month occurance and no actual problems with the brakes makes it difficult.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
