    Got the front disc brake pads changed and all four cylinders were bled
    a LOT until no bubbles coming out, and then pumped out some more fluid
    from each. Still, the pedal moves about 1/2 to 3/4 down before the
    brakes take effect. And when moving downward (to reach that point)
    there is a WOOSH sound of air coming out of the booster. I think I
    remember back when I had the 740 sedan (before I got the wagon) that
    I changed the master cylinder & booster out for these same symptoms,
    but it did the same thing. I was just wondering how the brakes on
    your 740s have behaved? Yes it has ABS, but its not working I guess as
    the ABS light is always on.
