Nothing has been said about proper brake adjustment. So before you do anything
else make sure your brakes are properly adjusted.If they aren't you could have
a low but firm pedal that would be good on the second pump.Turning the drums
will not effect the condition that you describe.If you replace the brake shoes
the drums should be turned to make sure they are round.

the brakes have been bled 4 times now, i still have to pump it up for them to
work, that is why i think there is air in the master cylinder, i don't think
it's bad because there are no leaks. i understand i need to bleed the wheels
and have gotten very experienced in that the past couple of days, there isn't
any air comming out of the wheels now. i was just wondering about the master
cylinder, how do i get the air out of it? is there any trick to it?

Bleed the brakes: In this order; right rear, left rear, right front, left
front. Use the method recommended in all the VW handbooks and you can do the
job by yourself, though it is helpful to have someone work the pedal while you
watch the fluid to make sure all bubbles have stopped coming out. If you don't
have a manual showing this procedure holler back and I will describe it.
