Two theories come to mind. 1. Re-bleed the system. There may be some bubbles that didn't get purged. 2. While bleeding the system, they may have damaged the master cylinder/seal by pumping the pedal too deeply and "cleaning" the master cylinder bore of all the sediment. Try re-bleeding first. Good luck. -Dick- 78 Scirocco 87 Vanagon Syncro 12 Golf TDI
