They are rather new.
I originally had stainless steel lines on the car then I thought the same thing, maybe the lines have failed somehow and I should replace them. Two of them I installed, and two the shop. There was a good 2 month period between the installation. There was no significantly notable change unfortunately.
Its somewhat difficult to describe the entire problem. The brake DO respond and stop the car. It just seems like
a) there is too much pedal travel to achieve this
b) there is no resistance in the pedal (as compared to my other cars)
So what I am going to do is :
1) Reverse bleed.
2) install used textar pads (lots of life, just need smoothly sanded) if #1 should net nothing as compress ignite believes.
What I wont do:
Throw parts at it by buying another master cylinder or by buying more calipers or brake lines.
So we shall see how 1 and 2 do.
The 300D is nearing completion finally. So the 190E's road days the numbered. It will soon go down for the winter.
