thanks again !
btw, bleeding with the ignition on, how would that be different than ignition off ?
Yes, check the pads to make sure they are seated properly. I had the same problem on my 190E and found that one of the left front pads wasn't installed correctly. It turned out that the pad wasn't fully seating against the rotor and it was bending, thus causing a mushy pedal. I corrected the problem and the pedal was nice and firm.
