Re: master cylinder or brake booster???
Well I had this problem on my 85 8v, and I changed the master cylinder.
the problem seem to have gone... (hated that sinking feeling.)
youll need to check where the liquid is going (mine was transfering back
andf forth inbetween bowls.. no leaks)

ok, heres the symptoms:
car #1
occasionally as i brake, i seem to loose the 'assist' in my brakes. it takes
more and more effort
and the pedal sinks lower and lower. this happens as im braking (brakes act
normal initially). once
it does happen, if i hit the brakes really hard the pedal will slowly make
its way to the floor.
now whats funny is that it doesnt do this all the time, sometimes the brakes
work fine.

car #2
once in a while, the brakes seem to 'catch' at a different pedal level. like
the pedal will go down
an extra inch or 2 before the car actually brakes. once it 'catches', brakes
act normal (even though
pedal is lower). on rare occasion i can slowly get the brake pedal all the
way to the floor without
the brakes engaging at all (brake pedal going fast seems to get it to
catch).
(jetta)
are both problems the same thing? what are they? i gotta fix em.
thanks for any help.
