ok... so my pedal was uber firm 3 months ago.....and just the other day i dont feel all that confident in my braking ability...i mean it stops... but the pedal is no where near as firm as it used to be....
resevoir is full.... no leaks....anywhere 6 month old SS lines..... PO's 19mm MC rebuilt M calipers and non leaking and one rebuilt rear caliper.... is my MC dying a slow and scary death? i like my pedals rock firm.... oh...btw i KNOW in the future i will be using 986 brakes..... can i use a 19mm MC with those? or will i have to buy a new one at that time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

No, but water lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid, and boiling fluid feels just like a system full of air: much more compressible than non-boiling fluid. My money is on a leaky MC, but if there's no sign of a leak, I'd change the fluid. |
