Uli 09-07-2009, 08:24 PM Since a few days, i have to reach the pedal further down to brake. It comes and go. Like today, i was stopped at a traffic light, then the car started moving again and had to press further for it to stop again. So i check my break fluid for leaks and it appears it doesn't leak and i still have my full level of brake oil. So i'm thinking master cylinder? How to be sure? What else could it be?? Thanks Uli DONE DEAL DONNY 09-07-2009, 09:40 PM My Bronco started doing that a couple of weeks ago, replaced master cylinder problem gone Donny dougs85 09-07-2009, 11:13 PM Yep, master cylinder. It's by-passing fluid in the internal seals. Doug Rix85 09-08-2009, 12:20 AM If you are not losing fluid at the reservoir and there are no signs of leakage at the wheel cylinders, it must be the master. 74elco 09-08-2009, 01:05 AM I would say its your master cylinder. If you have power brakes it could also be your booster needs to be replaced but I would check the master cylinder first. Drain it and check for cracks or holes in the wall that separates the two reservoirs. If they are fine you might wanna get a new seal kit for it if there broke then ur gunna need a new cylinder. If the problem still occurs you might wanna try replacing the power booster. Keep in mind breaks are a vital part for your safety and those around you and your car. If you dont think you can replace anything yourself you might wanna go to a brake guy. Also the things I have said are only based on my personal experience I am by no means a mechanic. But with all that said and done good luck to you and your endeavor I hope you get all your brake problems figured out!
