A few weeks ago i posted that my break pedal just goes to the floor, after the suggestions i had a new master cylinder fitted and a new valve thing with the little rubber cover (inside engine bay left of the battery and up a bit )The brakes are better but it still goes pretty much to the floor but if i pump the brake pedal once then it brakes sort of like normal. suggestions please  ________________________________________ |

sounds like they need bleeding mate. They can be hard to get the air out due to the bias valve on the axle.________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

Check your compensator on the rear beam is free/not seized before bleeding.________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

If you have ABS take it somewhere with gravel or similar loose surface and activate it a good few times before bleeding.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |
