[Vwdiesel] brake frustrations

[DAN SNYDER]

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, are you certain that the pads are already resting on the rotors?  It takes a LOT of brake fluid to fill up the cylinders on disk brakes, and if you have 4 to fill, it'll take several pumps to move the pucks out to where the pads are touching.

Badly warped rotors will cause the same panic situation when you hit the brakes quick, and then NOTHING.

Just my $0.02.
