i have replaced my rear calipers with recond ones. and bled the whole system (two man method). this all went swimmingly.

however the same problem remains, with the engine on the brake pedal has no pressure even at the very end but its does brake (stop the car) at the very end of the pedals travel (no feeling in pedal)

the same problem was there before with the original calipers but due to snapped nipples i assumed it was not bled properly.

i left the car sitting with no rear calipers on it for a few days and the system drained itself over that course, (could this be a problem?).

my questions are....... do i need to bleed the brakes while doing anything to the abs stuff? ive read a few people saying disconnect the abs ecu etc?

if not and its the brake servo that cream crackered. can i use the one from my 2.0 xsi?

thanks for any help in advance

It will not have helped with the system completely draining of fluid.

You need to re-bleed them and starting with the rear calipers ensuring you have a hard pedal after each caliper. Then move onto the fronts. And use a clear tube for bleeding if possible so you can see any bubbles.

i have a feeling my assistant (mate) wasnt up to scratch i will try bleeding them again with a better one (dad) and see what happens.

if it turn out to be a faulty master cylinder or servo will the brake servo/master cylinder from my xsi be the same? its up for its mot in a month and between the two its the gti all the way.

No it's not, the late 1.8's had the same fitted as did the late 2.0 16 valve xsi's.

Also nothing wrong with using a used one aslong as you know it's good Imo.
