So I when I bought the car a month or so ago the brakes were shot, pedal pretty much to the floor. Replaced rotors and pads all around and the brakes grabbed better but the pedal as still to the floor. Bled the brakes and instantly it's 9bazillion times better with very little pedal travel before solid brake engagement. Happy times... for a week or so. Noticed that when the hill holder lets loose I hear a stuttering noise almost like pressure surging crossed with a bit of a springy sound and the pedal looses a little feel. This doesn't always happen when the hill holder lets loose but when it does make this sound the pedal gets some more squish. So besides checking for leaks what do I look for? I hear a vicious rumor from a subie guy that my ABS pump could be giving up the ghost. Would make sense as I have had the ABS light come on one for about a minute. The car has 177k or so on it and is in pretty good shape otherwise if that helps any at all.
