Hi all,
I just got done changing out my master cylinder on my '83 242DL and was bleading the brakes with a power bleeder and as I was doing the passenger rear valve I hear something running all over the ground up by the engine. I look under the car forward and a clear almost water light substance is pouring down! I freak and run to the front to see what the heck is going on. After a few seconds I find to my horror that the brake reservoir is shotting out fluid from one side! I unhook the power bleeder and it stops leaking. I tried putting pressure on again and it started leaking at only 5psi! Okay, so I'll admit I went with one of Checker's cheap master cylinders and have learned a pain in the rear lesson! So folks, where is the best place to get a new master cylinder and reservoir? I'm looking at FCP Groton and they've got one for $95, is that good/okay? They have a cheap one for $65, but I'm nervous about going the cheap route anymore. Thanks again all!
