Hey guys-
My girlfriends '87 325iS is having a problem with the brakes. The pedal is all the way tothe floor to get them to work at all, and even then they don't want to slow the car down much at all. we had this problem before, so re replaced the master cyl, and it was ok for a week, then the pedal started going to the floor again. Thinking that we ruined the master cyl by pushing the pedal too far while bleeding, we replaced it again months later (last weekend) and not the brakes are even worse. The car has a lot of miles, but the brake pads are new, the master cyl is new, and there is no sign of fluid leaks that she can see... any ideas? brake booster??
the car also feels like its stumbling and falling on its face when you try and drive it. It used to do this when first started, but now it does it all the time.
Both these problems just got really bad overnight while my girlfriend was home. The weather has been really cold, and it mighthave something to do with that, but when the car is warmed up, it still does it.
Please help me figure this out, I have tried everything I can think of, and she is 45min away with the car.
