Default Re: SRT6 brakes, slide pins lubrication
I bled them again today with a buddy pushing the pedal as I cracked the nipple. Result - no change.
I have come to the conclusion that the master cylinder is leaking.

The strange thing is that with the car not started the pedal is firm and no leak down is noticed on the pedal. Start the car and the pedal goes down a lot. According to the manual the pedal should go down a little bit and then get firm when this is done.

I read another site about this problem and it said that the brake booster would be the fault.

What I need is someone out there to pump up the brake and then start the car with their foot on the pedal and let me know how far the pedal goes down, it should be just a little, maybe an inch. Also, when the car is switched off count how many times the vacuum is still there to provide power assist to the brakes, it should be at least two pedal pumps before the vacuum has been depleted.
