So, another one has arrived!
After seeing my tdi 90 I recently purchased for my daughter, my brother in law has bought one for his daughter.
And, being the one in the family with mechanical knowledge, it's arrived at mine for a full service and once over.
There is unfortunately no service history with this car. The cambelt looks worn. So, it will be having a cambelt change and new oils and fluids/filters. Rear shocks are also past their best and tie rod ends perished.
Whilst driving the car into the garage, I noticed a sucking noise from the area of the brake pedal each time the brake was used. I looked up here and found a few threads indicating this is a master cylinder issue. Before I strip it out and replace, is there a vac pipe or anything else that might be the culprit? The brakes do feel a bit spongy but I haven't changed the fluid yet.
