Brake pedal issue

the parts that I've replaced obviously weren't the issue bc they function the same as when I had the OEM stuff on it. So they did no harm, but also did no good.

 

I think there’s 2 versions of master cylinder for the 2nd gen. One you replace by crawling under the steering wheel by the brake pedal. One is in the engine bay, I could be wrong. Mine was down near the brake pedal. It wasn’t cheap but wasn’t $1k.

When you replaced parts & if you let the brake reservoir drain empty, I think the abs needs to be bled with a special software tool.

If you look under down by the brake pedal, you’ll probably see the master cylinder attached to the brake pedal. I’ll bet it’s wet & leaking. Symptoms are saying master cylinder if the rear shoes self adjuster is properly adjusted and the hydraulic system has already been properly bled. It’s something any competent shop should easily identify as the problem.

 

could you send a pic of where this master cylinder is under the brake peddle?

 

Im betting it's trapped air in the ABS module or the module itself is bad .

 

Do whut?

Do you have a manual? Are you sure that’s not the clutch cylinder under the dash?
That’s not a common factory setup, wilwood does it aftermarket but usually for race cars and such.

My man, if this is a legitimate thread you’ve got a serious gremlin in your brakes.
Find a better dealership, I worked at a dealership and we didn’t turn people away or tell them they had to replace everything with OEM. We would install OEM for the stuff we were replacing but not things that didn’t need it.

Find a good brake shop, that specializes in them.
Look at the ABS like @Bleep100 and others have mentioned.

Also there’s nothing wrong with aftermarket parts, you’re good. Sure everyone has a different experience and maybe some prefer OEM but that’s no reason for them to get all huffy puffy about people using aftermarket.
I just had to replace my master cylinder, did I go out and try to track down the 1800$ discontinued OEM one? No thank you.

Ok, you’re right. My old man brain playing tricks on me.

 

Yes there is. With all the things you did the system could be full of air in the ABS Unit.

 

imma take it to a different dealership
