Hey folks,
2005 Passat, brakes work fine except for on cold start. Shifting into park the car will start rolling and there are a few panicked seconds as the car lurches forward and I'm frantically jamming on a rock hard pedal. Brakes work absolutely fine subsequent to that, it just takes a few seconds after initial startup / shift into drive.
So...failing tandem pump? 197K, but if I can avoid replacing and if it could just be a gasket or something along those lines I'd be interested After this weekend there's a nice big hole where the GRM used to be (and a coming hole in my wallet), so now's the time to do it from an access standpoint, although maybe not from a financial one.
Thanks!
