Hi all,

Once again, trying to help diagnose my son's '83 245, which is 150 miles away.

He has a stiff brake pedal when the engine is off, but once he starts the car, the pedal goes almost completely away. Brake fluid is full, doesn't seem to be leaking.

I searched the archives, but the ones with a similar situation had just replaced a brake component. No brake work has been done recently on this car.
