Hello,
Well... I flushed my brakes and the car still stops, success! <g> I was
suprised to find that very few air bubble (very tiny tiny ones) came out of
the line and the brake fluid flowed clean. After bleeding all four brakes I
ended up pouring in only slightly more than came out. I guess the master
cylinder wasn't as low as I first suspected.
Of course, the brake lights still don't go on until the brake pedal is near
the floor -- not good. I tried to tighten the brake light sensor, but it
doesn't seem to want to budge. Guess it's time for a new one...
One question: If I press the brake pedal a few times when the car is
stopped, the pedal goes down less each stroke until it moves just a little.
I thought bleeding the breaks would fix that but now I am thinking that is
normal, is it?
Other misc. questions:
Haynes says I should replace my Oil Filler cap every once in a while.
Really? If so, how often?
What about my PCV Valve -- do I just clean it every so often or replace the
diaphram?
When I flush my radiator (next on my list) should I replace all coolant
hoses 'just in case'?
Does the Windshield Washer system really work or is it supposed to drip all
over the place? <g> (it is the 'push' non-motorized system)
Am I asking too many questions? I hope not...
Thanks,
Ross
