New front calipers and
a new master cylinder = lousy braking power. Brakes worked fine for about a week or so then slowly the pedal starts to migrate to the floor. Had to stop quick the other day and got to see the BIG red light illuminate on the dash.I don't see any fluid anywhere and the master cylinder is full.
Could a bad line be sucking air into the system but not letting any fluid out?

Lots of past posts on this. Try a search thru archives, could be air caught in caliber, out of round rotor, bad master, etc. The search should help. If you search "brakes" in "C3" and "archives" , you will get a lot to read on bleeding etc. :seeya

Seems every owner of a c3 gets to deal with this sooner or later.Check your rotors for run out and front and rear bearings for correct play.Worn bearing will cause rotor run out also.Besides air in the system,it is one of the most common problems.
