I finally got a rebuilt unit and replaced the master brake cylinder in
my 115 300D yesterday afternoon.
I bench bled the master cylinder before installation and now have a good
solid pedal. Still need to bleed the wheel cylinders - hopefully this
evening so I can drive it again.
Must be 6 weeks or so since my problem developed. Took a month to get
the rebuild kit and then I could not get it back together in a manner
that I thought acceptable so I finally ordered a rebuild.
One issue that remains, and I had hoped would be solved in all of this
is the brake warning light on the dash still does not wish to go out. I
believe it to be the sender that warns of an uneven pressure between
front and back.
It was a problem before and I have had the sensor unplugged for a while.
When I dismantled the old unit to clean it, that part was pretty gummed
up so I thought the new one should be clean and make it functional again.
Maybe my sensor is damaged or inoperative?
I won't get too far into it until I bleed the wheels and drive it a bit
but I would rather have it intact than unplugged.
Anyone know anything much about this?
