brake pedal travel.

Featured Replies

Hi all

I have replaced my front calipers on my octy mk1 vrs. Unfortunately the brake fluid had all leaked out from the brake lines when I got back to the garage. I have topped up the reservoir and used a vacuum pump to bleed it through apart from the rear nearside as someone before has nakered the bolt on the bleed nipple The fluid runs through but my brake pedal when pressed hits the floor with little resistance. Any ideas? Does the abs pump need reseting by vagcom ?

Thanks all

Bleed the master cylinder

Okay cheers. Can the cylinder be bled on the car or does it have to be taken off? Thanks

You want it on the car :-)

All done but still sinking pedal. Pumps up with the engine off but as soon as the servo kicks in it sinks under pressure and have hardly any brakes !! Bled the system 3 times. Fortunately I limped it to my local garage who are good as gold so hopefully get it sorted thanks all
