Emergency!!! No Brakes
Anyone outthere (hopefully Shawn, Potterman, or any brake buffs),
My brakes on my 80 Scirocco just went and this is my only car, I need it
for work tomorrow. Here is the situation:
Brake has felt "spongy" for quite a while, regardless of the amount of
fluid in the system. Tonight, they completely went, brake to the floor
and nothing, except at the very bottom (about last 1/2 inch - and then
very minimal, no full stopage). I went to the store, got fluid, filled
up the reservoir, nothing.
My question is: do I just need to bleed the lines (which have not been
done for I don't know how long - I've had the car for 6 mths now), or
will I need a new master cylinder. If a new MC is the case, can I take
one off of an 82 Scirocco?
If yes, please send help with any know how on how to complete this task.
Thank you all,
John
80 Scirocco S
