sure sounds like a master cylinder to me (had the same symptoms way back
when)

=>I've got an 84 Gti.  Last night I lost my brake pressure.  There are no
=>leaks in the system.  The brake master cylinder is not leaking on
=>the peddle
=>side either.  So did my master cylinder just bite the big one.  I
=>think it's
=>maybe leaking internally.  The funny thing is that the brake peddle feels
=>fine and builds pressure when the car is not running.. As soon as
=>I turn on
=>the engine, the peddle goes to the floor and I have to pump it up just to
=>get the brakes to grab a bit.  Vacuum problem?  Any ideas?   I
=>don't want to
=>buy a master cylinder if I don't need one.
