Title: Brake Issues
Post by: Heartbeat1991 on October 14, 2013, 04:03:08 PM
Hello all.  I put a deposit down on a 1990 TGP today. ABS light flashes, pedal is squishy. Has new pads, rotors and calipers. Owner suggested ABS needs to be bled.  Any suggestions?

Any info would be helpful. I need to make a decision by the afternoon. Either buy the car or get my deposit back. I know these things have powermaster problems. I would think if it were that, the car would have a hard pedal. I don't know enough about these PMIII systems.

Well you are right about the hard pedal does the ABS light flash?  Might need an accumulator or it could be more.  It depends on what you are paying for too.  Is this a steal of a deal or paying a substantial amount?  There are other bugs to possibly deal with but price dictates if it is worth it anyways.

Thanks for the reply. ABS light flashes. No brake light on the dash. Cluster needs work anyway. Not a steal, but not crazy money either. $1900. 153k. Body is great. Needs a little paint touch up. Carpet behind the rear seats under the back window needs to be replaced. New struts, new rubber, rotors, pads and calipers. I'm thinking he didn't bleed the master. I hope anyway. It's not perfect, but nothing I can't clean up.

Sounds like you may remedy the problem by replacing the accumulator.  But check with others I say beforehand.
