What if when I bleed the system fluid does squirt out the bleeder valve?I guess that would mean the master cylinder is good?
What could the problem be then?

Re: 3rd gen brake problem.

that doesnt mean its good.if your not losing fluid and the pedal goes to the floor,you have either a bleeding problem,or a bad master cylinder

So that means if I have a bleeding problem I should see fresh fluid leaking somewhere right now.
Im pretty confident I dont have a leak anywhere so I think it might be the master cylinder.What do you think?

How many miles can a master cylinder under normal driving conditions before they go bad?

Re: 3rd gen brake problem.

if you have a leak you will see fluid on the ground or on parts .If you have a bleeding problem,that means that air in the brake system exists due to it not being evacuated properly.

I see,but the braking system has worked fine for 15000 miles since I last worked on them until now.Will air that was left in there then be a problem now or do you think my master cylinder simply went out?I checked the car again and dont see any leaking brake fluid any where.

I know for a fact that the master cylinder is original,How many miles can a master cylinder take before it goes bad?

Also,i forgot to mention that when I drive I have to pump the brakes in order to stop.It stops if I push it down to the floor once but stops better when I pump it 2 or 3 times.What does that mean.
