Too Much Brake Pedal Travel after rear brake job

[wny_pat]

2002 TDI

Replaced my rear brakes pad and rotors (only the rear). Bled the system. Have good pedal travel until I start the engine. With the engine running they drop almost to the floor. But the brakes are right there, except for the excessive travel. Any ideas? Have bled the system at least 3 more times trying to solve this.

The adjuster is part of the parking brake. If you work the parking brake on and off a few times it should take up the slack and raise the pedal.
