I picked up a used 1994 940T and it has a soft brake pedal that doesn't do anything until pushed halfway down. I read up on bleeding the brakes in the FAQ and then went and bled the brakes. Still a soft pedal, so I thought it was because I didn't use a pressure bleeder. So I bled them again with a pressure bleeder and still had a soft pedal that doesn't engage the brakes until halfway to the floor.

So I decided to replace the master cylinder. I did so, bled the MC, and bled the brakes again with a pressure bleeder, again in the proper sequence. (per the FAQ) Still have a soft pedal.

Is there anything else that could be causing this problem?? Nothing I did changed anything. The car will stop fine and the brakes work well, the problem is you have to push the pedal down so far just to make them work.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
