Subject:Brake Peddle Fade
From:Samuel Scott
Date:Mon, 24 Mar 2003 12:48:15 EST

On my '91 Carat, the brakes are stopping fine, but I notice when I'm stopped
at a light with my foot on the peddle, it slowly starts to fall, allowing the
van to move forward slightly.  If I pump the peddle just once, it's fine
again, but then again slowly falls.

Is this a master cylinder going bad or what?  Anybody ever have this symptom?
 If it is the master c, (sounds like a rapper), any opinions on original part
versus Brazilian VW part?  I think Bus Depot, for example, sells both.

Thanks.
