[Vwdiesel] 90 Jetta brakes

[TexasTDI]

The master cylinder itself or the power brake booster is bad.  The rubber
diaphragm has a hole in it, letting fluid pass from one side of the diagram
to the other, causing a loss of brake pressure.

Hi,

During the last week, the brake pedal on my '90 Jetta has slowly been
sinking to the floor as I stop the car.   New it travels nearly to the
floor.   When I pump them, the car stops fine.

I examined both front and back for leaks and bled them as well.  No air
showed up.  Both front rotor and pads as well as rear shoes and drums were
replaced last February, and show normal wear.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kerry
