[diesel_mercedes] pedal to the metal (a sinking feeling) w126

 

Okay..

Braking question..

My w126 ('84 300SD) has had some brake issues (drivers' rear caliper) hasn't been grabbing (there's still rust on the rotor face).

The last week, I've noticed the pedal has gone soft (after starting the engine) it's like a rock, and correct "height" with the engine off..

I'm worried the vac booster has failed.. Is it possible that this would make for a soft pedal situation?? It's the brakes are not gripping well like this.. (spookyish)

I've been told the stuck caliper can cause all sorts of chaos, so I've ordered a hardware kit-- and plan on tear into that first.. But, since I'm going to have to order a vac booster-- I'm wondering if I need to get one on my way..

...wondering when the problems from sitting two years will cease, so I can actually move forward on this.. *sigh*
