I have been enjoying my SC more now since the weather has eliminated the necessity for salt, and an old problem has resurfaced which has existed since I bought the car.
On my '93 (no mark II accumulator), my brakes are simply weak. The pedal travels significantly when stopping, and bottoms out during hard stops. It is, and has been, pretty consistant. The fluid was changed once.
I am aware that these cars have a hydralic brake control unit which needs to be bled in a special manner with a computer device to remove trapped air, but I wouldn't think air could be this bad.
The resevoir loses no fluid, over any period of time.
I have also researched a brake booster with few results. Does our car have one of these? If so, how does it operate on these cars? Could it cause this behavior if it were bad and show no other symptoms?
Thanks for any input, this problem is illusive!
