[Vwdiesel] Not Deisel, just brake bleeding hell on a VW bug

[brian hoeft]

Mind you, none of my experience is pre '79, (well, maybe a couple times) but
had a similar situation that turned out to be siezed calipers. Thankfully I
figured that out before I went for the MC..

Also had a fit when I installed a bad MC on a B5 S4 once.. not fun or easy
to redo once its all together, so thakfully youre working on something where
less is more.  parts places will warrant, but youre SOL on the frustration.

a few deep breaths helps a bit.. better than a hole in the wall.. :]
