I really think I am somehow not getting the air out of the whole system or I have two faulty master cylinders. Before I buy more parts or waste more fluid I am going to pull the master cylinder apart and be sure the check valve in the far end is not stuck. In reading on some vw specific sites it seems it may be my wisest choice to buy an OE German master cylinder as the rebuilt ones are the most likely to have the problems I am having. I have NO pedal at all until I pump the hell out of the brakes and then I can get the rears to lock. I have taken it off the road and it just sits now as I have been so frustrated with it. It is way too quick and small to have marginal brakes.
