I was bleeding my brakes today. And now they are just spungy noo brakes at all, dunno what the fuck happened. Just the fronts are dead. It isn't leakin brake fluid or anything. Did everything i know to try and fix them, but nothing worked, and then as soon as i turned my car on, the brake pedal just fell flat to da floor. Someone help me please. I need to drive around it's hard with no brakes on da front.
cheers guys, Anything anything at all would be great.

could be your proportioning valve is shagged this controls front and rear breaks and when they work.

Sometimes when you're bleeding brakes on a car with a brake booster (which is all of em these days) if you push the pedal to the floor the piston in the master cylinder won't come back up. Perhaps this is what happened

Did u bleed them in da right order?
1-Passenger rear
2-Drivers rear
3-Passenger front
4-Drivers front
If u dont, then air can still be locked in da system. The reason this is da correct order, is so u bleed from the furthest from da master cylinder, to da closest. This helps push/bleed air alot more thouroghly.
Do u know 4 sure whether the BF level didn't drop too far during bleeding to alow air to enter the resiviour?

if its a tx you have to reset the proportioning valve.
unscrew the brake warning light switch then put it back in
that reset's the valve.
