Brake Misbehaviour - maybe not ABS?

Hey Fred - thanks for the input!

I'm wondering if somewhere in my replacement of hoses and fittings, that I
put in something with too samll a hole to fee the bomb properly.

The Bomb was off an 87/88 5K. Non-turbo, non-quattro. Took a bunch of hoses
and other bits off, and then reassembled them onto my car (90-200Q). The
hose with the metal curved pipe at the start had different fittings than on
my pump so I had to diassemble it and use the metal part from mine on the
pump end and then the rubber part from the donor on the bottom end. I did
insert the long narrow plastic thingy with ever sotiny holes back into
this - I don't remember if I used the 'damper' - I think that's what the
thingy is called - from mine or from the donor.

The brakes were a problem before, the new bomb is much better, I just don't
know where the problem is. I will test as per your instructions, but the
light isn't going out anymore, and the bomb is not charging (I think)
because the reservoir is now over-full.

Thanks again!

CHeers,

Peter
