Default Brake Problems

I have had a problem with my brakes for sometime now and i been having none to very little pressure on the pedal. ...

Well So i went to bleed my brakes and started with the right rear and i went to bleed the nipple and no fliud came out at all.. zero, so i went to the front right and fluid came out. Now.. no fluid but the right front fluid came out? i am completely stuck on what is wrong and i bought a new master brake cylinder and i got stuck on how do we get that bitch out? that metal seperator is completely in the way? Anyone have any advice and my brake fluid has been full this whole time so i am not leaking anything.

Could be gunk in the lines. Are both rear calipers empty? Do you have ABS?

Wow... I'd look into the ABS module.

hmmm, not sure about the S4, but most master cylinders use a vacuum-assisted brake booster to make it easier to get more stopping power by using less pressure on the pedal. You may want to check into and see if it's vacuum assisted and if it is, check for vacuum leaks.

Also, forgot to ask, did you get the new master cylinder installed? That would really help your case. When installing, I would completely drain the fluid and replace it when the new Master Cylinder is installed.
