That's what I would guess, but I never trusted that proportioning
valve setup, the GTI's brakes never felt as good as a crappy Volvo I
have. Going to replace the MC, does anyone think I should leave that
proportioning valve? I'm thinking about getting an in-cockpit
adjustable proportioning valve. Also I need a rear caliper, is it
the '89-'92 that are aluminum and don't have that ratcheting piston?
Do they bolt onto my '88? There's almost no $ difference.
Thanks all,
Steve
PS What about a hydraulic handbrake anyone?

If the brake fluid level is fine I would suspect the master

this is easily fixed w/a new MC, and is a good opportunity to flush
all the old fluid out of your brake lines.

While slowing down for a red light, the brake pedal went to the
firewall. I dropped a gear and snuck through and at the next
light the brakes were fine. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Steve
