Just a thought..I went through one new master cylinder, genuine Saab (Girling) part, the Castrol LMA4 brake fluid I used attacked the master cylinder evidently...turned the brake fluid black in six weeks and the pedal went soft in 13months..outside the one year warranty.
My point is check your brake fluid for massive discoloration and beware of Castrol LMA4 brake fluid. Although I've used the Castrol stuff for years, I quit using it five years ago after the Saab master cylinder debacle...I now use ATE Blue or Amber racing brake fluid. Harder to get, often have to mail order it, but it hasn't attacked the master cylinder seals yet.
