pye Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Jonny, brakes were bled by local garage, back to front but cant confirm whether or not they were pressure bled.At the time I didnt think to ask. Ive noticed a few people have mentioned the master cylinder but I dont seem to have any loss of fluid and there doesnt appear to be any creep in the pedal.Bit stuck really....

pye Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Does anyone know of a pressure bleed kit that fits the res cap for the brakes... Been to motor factors and halfrauds and both kits dont supply a cap large enough to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyricer Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 i would say you still got air in the system i have nt had prob with a marster cylinder in years and that was on an old volvo 340.the way to bleed is let it gravity bleed first.then get someonein the driving seat.then do haif pumps!eg halfpump down open nipple leave open 3-5 secs(dont go to the bottom!!)close nipple off brake,repeat untill no air left.start nsr,osr,nsf and osf in that order.remember to keep the res topped uphope this helps.you dont go the bottom of brake travel as water gets into the system and can corrode the marster cylinder internals which are nt being used,but when you do get into the low zone of pedal travel the cylinder seals can catch and rip and this causes sinking and spongy pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
