Ok....
Here's the update:
We hit a snag for a while. and are still at a bit of a financial stalemate (Who isn't these days??) but at least the rabbit is back on the road.
We had been driving it just as anyone would any other daily driver, then i parked it for 3 days. When i came back and went to drive it, I backed out of the driveway and nearly ran into my neighbor's car (again!!). The pedal went completly to the floor, and the E-brake did nothing either! Tried pumping it... nothing.
Needless to say, We parked it until we had more time and possibly money to work with. Until then, I decided to drive the motorcycle. Well... then, of course, the bike battery went dead. not just a little dead. Completely USELESS, non-chargeable.
Back to one car: the Jetta.
2 weeks later, (today, July 4th) I made time (mostly out of desperation) to check it over.
I still have no idea what i did to fix it.
I put it up in the air, and took off 3 of 4 wheels, both front & driver rear. The back was full of grease, no idea why, except mabye a bad axle seal? dunno. currently don't care. I removed the calipers on front, sprayed them with penetrating stuff, and then beat the crap out of them with a hammer to loosen them back up, then sprayed dry-film lubricant on the sliders. put it all back together... Voiala! brakes!
Drove it all day today with no problem.
I still think i may need a new master cylinder, but that's going to go on the list of stuff we need money for.
Anyway... i mostly just wanted to bring this back up on the thread list.
I'll update again when i have something worth noting.
