Hi, I drive a 97' Jetta. It has four disc brakes which have been replaced in january 08'. recently, i feel my brake pedal losing pressure, like sinking down too quick. I now have to pump the pedal 2 to 3 times to brake good. what would i need to replace? thanks for your help,

eddy you need to check if you have a fluid leak, if ok then you probably have a stuck caliper and or caliper slides.
