Seems like there are some anti tamper labeling and packaging requirements
also, fwiw.

Similar issue with checking to see if your money is held in a bank account
covered by FDIC insurance. Crucial step in verifying that is going to the
FDIC website to see if your bank is covered.
In this case, I tried to go to any UN website for ECE to find out if they

I thought the same thing. Maybe it takes them awhile to catch up.

The counterfeits don't copy all the certification stamps?

Thanks for sharing that article regarding ECE R90. I wonder if the Akebono
ceramic pads have that certification? Have to look that up later.

Interesting. Seems unlikely that the pads are in wrong, but never say
never. I changed all the calipers, so this isnt just a brake job.
I found this european cert thing in an email from autohaus (finally got the

Thanks that was the set of issues I suspected I might be avoiding.
I am however torn on whether the ate part is worth 140 when the meyle is

If you replaced the brakes make sure the pads are in place correctly. I
worked at a shop once where mechanic put pads on wrong (pads not in the

it would bend the brake pad which acted like a spring, when you released

I note that a decision has been made to get a replacement but I will
comment on this anyway.
I had the master give up on my 115 300D. I was able to get a rebuild kit
but unable to put it together to my satisfaction and ended up getting a
replacement anyway.
Not sure how this will relate to newer

Replace it. Newer master cylinders don't rebuild well as there are no
oversized kits for having them honed as you should -- part of the wear is on
the walls of the cylinder, and new cups won't last all that long.

I agree, that's the classic description of a bad master cylinder. When
faced with a similar choice on my '95 sedan, I ended up buying an ATE
brand.
I found that there are very few makers of kits for rebuilding master
cylinders. I think that ATE is one of the few? I wasn't sure what was in
my car
Sounds like classic cups on the piston are worn/leaking. Time for a
new/rebuilt master cylinder.

So I have pressure bled the 124 wagon brakes about three times now and no
air comes out any more. I drained at least a pint each caliper this time.
No leaks from any of the calipers when pumping pedal with nipples tight.
This is a non-asr car.
Pedal will pump up but then goes to the floor with su
