Well there's a problem in the ABS unit but I don't know if it's the reason I had trapped air or a new issue. Question: Could pedal bleeding somehow "vacuum lock" a valve body in the ABS module? I don't think so but if cycling the pump would resolve this issue it would be easier than what I have...

I think I've got more time in this than in all other hydraulic bleeding jobs combined and I used to be a construction equipment mechanic. It's ridiculous and just keeps getting worse. So... update and new problem, which may point to the actual problem? I didn't have a lot of time today but I...

Thanks, I'll give that a shot! I was holding pretty good pressure on the pedal but I could have gone harder.

I thought you meant the pistons or pins. I haven't moved the car, this is with the it sitting still. The rotors did have some surface rust but I cleaned them up with one of those spongey looking paint stripper wheels. With luck the car will be driving before they need it again!

This was a compelling enough idea that I closed off the heater hoses and got the car together enough to start for a couple of minutes while I checked and rechecked the hoses with the brake on. Unfortunately I couldn't feel any change in diameter in any of the hoses or see/feel any damage to the...

Thanks for the ideas. I'll have to check the soft lines again with the car running since I think any problem would be most visible then, with the booster working. All the pads are free. I've pulled the calipers to check and replaced the stamped steel slider hardware on the RR because it was...

Do you mean the basic settings ABS bleed procedure where you hold the brake while the pump runs, open the bleeders, press 10x, close bleeders and repeat? I've done that and the ABS Output test. I don't think have any options available on the dropdown menu but I'll check when I get the dash back...

I did, I think that was the first thing I tried the next day and thank you for the suggestion. I'm sure I'll be trying that again, too, because right now I'm at a loss. I was considering putting in the ABS pump from the parts car but the one in the car I'm shows no errors and has been bled...

Grasping at straws here but could the way I have the car jacked up be an issue? It's lifted and level on four jack stands now, the rear suspension is at normal travel as if it were on the ground but the front control arms are at full droop. Today I ran another liter of fluid through the car...

Well I did a thing and now I know it isn't the master cylinder. Today I swapped the MS from my parts car that has great brakes to the "runner" with a chronic spongy pedal and the suspect MS onto the parts car. Absolutely no difference, both cars are as they were before. Tomorrow I'm going to...

I know the front pistons are free and I know the rear brakes will lock up the wheels but tomorrow I guess I'll spin the rear pistons back in and make sure they move. The calipers are rusted externally but move freely on the sliders, front and rear. I had cleaned and greased them all around the...

Thank you, Seatman. I feel like I've been pretty aggressive but I'll go harder on the rears. I should have taken some notes on what I'd done last on the car but of course I wasn't planning to be away from it for such a long time. P.s. I don't remember what info I was looking for at the time...

1. The problem. 2. What I've tried 3. A little backstory I have read... quite a few MK4 brake threads in the last couple of days. With the engine OFF the brake pedal is good but not perfect. But also not anything I would question if that was the extent of the problem, I can't even rule out a...

Thanks for the answers! I'll come back with readings during the week when I have some. (edit: I had to go out of town until the 20th. Thanks for the answers, I'll update when I get back. )

Long story short: I've got a 2003 wagon that I bought last Fall. Before I started working on it I agreed to do a "quick engine swap" on a friend's Chevy POS 1.6 and... wasn't able to use my garage for the rest of the winter. That car is now on it's 3rd garage trying to figure out why it pegs...
