The brake pedal goes down almost to the floor. There is still some braking force left, but not much.
How would I test the check valve? I've done the pumping of the pedal when the car is off, and the pressure holds. It releases when the car starts too.
I think that tests the brake booster tho...

There's no fluid loss, not any that I can see. The brakes work ok when it's parked, when it's revved in neutral, or if I press clutch and brake at the same time (or hold clutch)...

Stumped - Weird brake problem
So the symptoms are.. the brake pedal has no pressure and no braking power, but only after the car has driven in gear for a about 100m. After pumping a few times, during drive, the pedal regains the pressure and the brakes work. This stays on for a few minutes, and the brakes work good. Then after ...

Need help! Upgrading to 929 Brake Master Cylider
Hello,
Need some help. Got a remanufactured 1992 929 brake master cylinder, but the thing just doesn't seal. I didn't realize that the brake fluid container has to be from 929, but that's another story...
The threads are same size, and the holes are in the right places. The part that goes in the ...

Re: trailer hitch
Does that mean that there's no such hitch that can be affixed to an mx3?
I have the same owner's manual, and I've read it too.
I really didn't wan't a lecture.

Re: trailer hitch
Guys, I just want to tow a small aluminum boat or a canoe on a trailer. This is very light, especially since I'll only have just 1 more passenger. I think it'll be just fine for that!
I don't plan on doing 1/4 mile races when it's hooked up.

trailer hitch
Anybody here has a trailer hitch installed in their MX3? How do you go about doing that?

Re: still have loud click... not CV joints

FS: hatch gas struts
I bought new ones from Canadian Tire, because I thought that they are supposed to push the hatch up. It appears that they are meant just to hold it.<p>Once they were installed, I couldn't return them, so I'm selling the old ones. They still have a lot of pressure, but they are not new. Side by side ...

Re: Engine Maintenance
There's a shop manual on mx-3.com
Check out section E2; page 5 refers to removal.<p>Take care of the special instructions for filling, there's a rate of fill or you will introduce air in the system.

Re: Struts 92-Gs
I have to admit, your posts are very confusing. Does your car have ABS or not?
