Hi everyone ---

I just replaced the brake fluid in the system of my '94 854. I noticed increased pedal travel after bleeding all four brakes. I used the old pump the pedal method. Pedal travel is increased but the brake pedal does not sink further than the gas pedal during full braking. Before the flush, however, there was no play in the brake pedal. Now there is about 1" of pedal travel before the brakes even engage. Is this caused by air still trapped in the system?? If so, what is the best way to remove it? I am using Valvoline Synpower synthetic fluid by the way. Your experience and input is appreciated. Thank you!
