no brake pressure and belt squeal

[Matthew]

well I did post this topic then it just disappeared…. hmmmmm

Since winter has started I have no brake pressure. I have no leaks and my brake fluid is still full. This is the 1st winter I have driven since I had my brake work done in April. I pump the brakes with the engine running and do not gain any pressure I put them with the engine off and I have better pressure but still not good. Since this is the 1st time I have driven in near 0 temps is this normal.

also starting my car today I noticed I had a squealing belt I have no idea if it was because it was like 20 degress out with wind chill of 15-20 below or if I really have a bad belt my question is I can live with a squealing belt not noticeable from inside the car but what are the chances it’ll snap on me? the drive belt drive the Alternator I am not sure what else I cant remember if my Power Steering pump is driven by the timing belt or drive belt.

Sounds like a bad master cylinder.

,but before jumping to that conclusion, what work did you have done?

[Matthew]

nope that was what was replaced along with pretty much all the brake lines there is a kink in the vacuum line for the booster however but that was from the factory that way
