RE: [alfa] 115 gtv braking issue

["John Katos" <john_katos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like something to do with the vacuum boosters. Is it cold enough
for water to be freezing somewhere in the system?

i've been forced by the delay in getting my 164 winter-ready to drive
my gtv for the past several weeks, which has been a little exciting
considering the weather up here and the AVS intermediates on the
car. it's been interesting seeing a number of systems that turn
out not to work well at all when very cold.

today, the brakes suddenly did something odd and unexpected.
intermittantly, when i depress the pedal, it comes up feeing much
harder than usual with a much shorter throw. after a couple of stops
in this condition, it goes back to normal (for some value of normal.)

anyone have any suggestions about what might be up?

thanks in advance,
