If you have a NAPA nearby I would get one there. You can look at it before you
walk out, and if there are problems with it you will have someone local to deal
with and a hassle-free return/exchange.

The brake master cylinder seems to be failing on my old toada sienna family
truckster. This vehicle is too old to justify the price of an OE one, so
I’m considering a rebuilt or aftermarket cylinder.
Most parts places and web sites seem to carry the same brands of
aftermarket cylinders like -
When the MC gave up on my 115 I was sitting at a red light and the car

and it

I think they’re different than the “regular” grommets, so be sure to check the

on this tank.

The washer fluid tank is a major PITA to replace. Ironic that they’re so
brittle when they age, causing even a casual glance at one to shatter it. You
know it’s bad when the dealer stocks them for a car that they stopped making 15
years ago.

How much is a new MC?
Last time I bled brakes, following a MC replacement in a hotel parking ramp, I
bought 20 feet of clear hose (fish tank air line, about $10 from Walmart pet
department) and then ran a line from right rear caliper bleed screw back up to
MC reservoir. Open bleed, pump the
I tried everything else and got nowhere until I replaced the MC. It wasn’t a
bad job, kind of tight, though, like everything on these MLs. G-d forbid you
have to replace the windshield washer fluid reservoir. That is a stinking
nightmare.

Interesting, as I had the exact same issue with the former ML500. Pedal wasn’t
soft or bled down, but the travel seemed way too long, even after pressure
bleeding the system when I replaced a stuck right rear caliper. It seemed like
it almost went to the floor before you got any braking action.
The thing that had me wondering about the MC is when it was leaking fluid and
got low the pedal would go all the way to the floor. Wondered if pushing it too
far ruined the seals in the MC. It does not seems to slowly sink though but
will drive it again and pay more attention.

Pedal does not go to the floor. Just too much travel. When I bled it this last
time I basically ran a whole large bottle of fluid thru it. Some of the
calipers took a while before I started seeing bubbles in the clear tube. After
they quit I let it run for a while after before closing the

Or brakes that won't release. The OP's problem sounds like it's
not bled correctly. Especially since he didn't touch the MC mechanically.

Always thought bad master cylinder was a slowly sinking pedal.
If pedal travel is too far, the pushrod on the pedal needs to be
adjusted?
Spongy or pedal to the floor is air in the lines. Guess that could also
be a bad wheel cylinder or caliper, leaking line, etc.

Or perhaps a bad caliper. I have similar symptoms and the MC was recently
replaced. If your foot goes to the floor then it's definitely the MC.

What are symptoms of a bad master cylinder? On this ML I just put back

for the reservoir tank. I replaced those and bled the brakes a couple
of times but it seems the brake pedal travels too far to me. Brakes

When you say lines do you mean at the master cylinder?
There is a line on either side of the sensor.
Cracking the lines there might re-center the pin.
Bleeding the brakes did not solve the problem. The light is still on.

+1 If there is air in the rear circuit, the pedal may feel ok and
the stopping may appear to be normal, because the front brakes do
70-80% of the stopping. Bleedem, rear first.
IIRC, it was to open one set of lines, step on the brake pedal, then close
the first and open the second, step on the brake, then close them all. I'd
bleed the system first. Then again, maybe I'm not remembering correctly . .
