brake problems

[dorikin]

ok guys have some issues with the brakes
car is a 94 civic vti sedan

sometimes when i brake and come to a stop the pedal just sinks almost all the way to the floor.
i just bled the brakes yesterday and seems to have made the problem worse.
i'm pretty sure the problem lies in the master cylinder
because i dont think there are any air bubbles or leaks in the system.. the reservoir is still full
does anyone have any other suggestions..
can you get the m/c rebuilt and how much will it cost
or would it be better to buy a new one
and do you have to replace the brake booster aswell?

also is this the right sequence to bleeding the brakes.
rear right > rear left > front left > front right

thanks

Probably your master cyl seals

[ECU-MAN]

you need to overhaul or replace your master cylinder

[dorikin]

are there aftermarket master cylinders available for the civic?
and does anyone know the prices

[ECU-MAN]

just get your master cylinder overhauled, it would be your cheapest option. shop around

[dorikin]

okay thanks ecu-man
do you know if that is the correct sequence to bleeding the brakes?

in the service manual it says rear right>front left>rear left>front right. but thats an american manual where there mc is on the left
would it be the same for our rhd cars.

[ECU-MAN]

start from leftr rear, right front, right rear left front,

[Steer^Gimic]

the sequence is
rear left >> rear right >> front left >> front right

rear left and front right share the same line
rear right and front left share the same line

not sure if that's of any help
but good luck

[dorikin]

thats what i thought steer^gimic. which is the same as one of the diy tech articles.
but then the service manual just confused me even more.

its always best to start from the furthest caliper from the master cylinder, then its coresponding caliper on its same line channel, the the opposite channel.
