Hi all,

Completed the brake rebuild on my son's '83 245: new master cylinder, rotors, calipers (switched from solid to vented rotors), and pads. Bench bled the master cylinder, then bled the system. All went as expected. Good pedal, solid as a rock.

However, when we start the car, the pedal goes completely soft. Is this the brake booster? I thought that, if the booster failed, you still had manual brakes.

Neither Bentley or FAQ is helping me out.

Thx,

Monty
