brake issue
Hello all. I have just replaced the brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders on a 66 beetle and bled the brakes. The pedal is firm to start with and
everything is ok. I walk away and come back later and the pedal goes to the floor. If i pump the pedal it gets firm again. Bled the brake system
several times and still the same thing happens. What am i doing wrong. any help and advice would be greatly appreciated

Try adjusting the shoes again.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!
