RE: [DMCForum] Braking questions



You may have water in the brake lines.  Have you bleed the brakes yet?

Onto my other problem of the day:

After several hard-braking episodes in D.C. this morning, my brake 
warning light came on. While I was glad to see that the warning 
circuit works after all, I was distressed to feel the pedal go almost 
to the floor.

After letting the car sit for a couple of hours, I went back to the 
parking garage to take a closer look. I'm not losing any fluid. The 
firewall is dry, the wheels are dry, the master cylinder was dry. The 
fluid is a -little- low, consistent with a level that says my pads 
are almost gone and a larger portion of the fluid is in the lines and 
not the resevoir, causing the light. This time, I could -not- get the 
light to come on, and the brakes were back to "normal".


Questions:

1. What is "fading" exactly, in referrence to braking?
2. What causes it?

Is that what I experienced? 

Thanks again,

Rich
