[Vwdiesel] Brakes, brakes, brakes…..:^P

I had the same symptoms on my Audi once with a "new" MC.  A second new MC
solved it.

If the fluid isn't leaking out somewhere, it must be leaking past a master
cylinder seal.

Pedal going to the floor is confusing though... is there a spring in the MC
maintaining pressure on the system?
