Okay, I've bled the brakes. My Westy Syncro still has a soggy brake pedal. If I pump, it gets a little better, but not much. Sometimes I hear a buzz, and it gets to be the best. If the engine is off, it feels better, but with the engine running, it feels really mushy. A friend suggested the brake booster might have a vacuum leak. Don't believe I've seen this come up before. Master cylinder, yes, but not the brake booster. I haven't yet looked in the bentley to see what's involved. Half afraid the dash will have to come out. |
