Master cylinder problem

dub_crazee · Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2008 1:08 pm Post subject: Master cylinder problem

New mastercylinder doesnt seem to be drawing in any fluid.

i couldnt bleed the brakes, ended up removing the MC, removing the rubber bungs and just filling the two inlets with brake fluid and working the master cylinder by hand - still not drawing fluid into the cylinder - the odd spit of fluid comes out of the outlet but not like it should.

so am i being stupid and doing something wrong or is the new msater cylinder broken?

(sorry this is for a bay window but had no responses over there and they are very similar)

Cheers

Deano

sounds like you got a bum master cylinder. When I replaced one, I went through a couple before one worked. Gotta love crap parts.
