Had front right brake hose break and lost all fluid. Replaced hose and then no pressure to front right or back left other two brakes get hot and the brake pedal gets very hard. Brakes plus did power flush and said my master cylinder was bad, replaced master cylinder and still same problem. Took to foreign car specialist, they did diagnostics and power flush, told me it was rotors and pads, replaced rotors and pads still same problem. I am totally lost.

have a mechanic bleed the system with a scanner so he can open valves on ABS unit that is probably where the problem is.

Took it back to shop, they told me on Friday that they checked and re did the bench bleed on the master cylinder and it was fine, on Monday now they tell me the new master cylinder is bad. It is doing the same thing that the original master cylinder was doing.

i'd try another shop first i'm sure it is an abs problem and they aren't bleeding with a scanner. master cylinders aren't normally bad when new if rebuilt maybe but still sounds like air in system.
