Replacing brake master cylinder (very short)
my pedal goes, nice and firm, then creeps down....

considering i haven't lost any fluid over 8months. i think it's the master cylinder seals.

is there anything special I have to keep in mind when replacing the master cylinder??? (never done a car with ABS)

I couldn't find it in the garage

thanks all

That's completely normal for cars with power brakes.

Nope. Just bench bleed it, throw it on and bleed the brakes all 4 corners.

You don't need a scan tool or anything.

You'll have to bleed your brakes as he said above.
