I was getting very little braking before no matter how much I pumped the pedal. I bled the brakes and the ABS unit and now it will have some braking action on the first pump, a little more on the next, and more on the next but it's still not even good let alone great.
This car has been sitting maybe 10 years so I'm guessing Master Cylinder but wanted some insight before I go replacing parts. Thanks. |

I should also note that there is a large "whoosh" sound that goes with pressing the pedal. The first time you press, it's loud, the second time not as loud, third not as loud as the second. I would GUESS that this is because fluid is being pushed past the seals, but the seals seal progressively better with each push of the pedal.
The only problem with this theory is I do not have any vacuum going to the power brake booster, so that woosh may just be air moving in and out of the line that is going to the booster. |
