|
| ok so my brakes were not working to well so i decided it was time to bleed them. after doing the rear ones i checked how firm the dedal felt, and it was pretty good. then i got back under the car and did the fron 2. when i hoped back in my car to drive again they dont work at all now. peddal goes straight to the floor. any sugestions on what has happened? thanks |

yeah uve probably made it ten times worse filled the lines with air
you are meant to bleed them one after the other starting at rear left, rear right, front left, front right
from furthest away from booster to closest
if u have no pedal thats prob why. |

| i am fully aware of how to bleed brakes. i did it in the right order. had my mate in the drivers seat doing the pedal bit. and always checking the resovware to make sure it didnt run out of fluid |

| neither of those have happened. evo thinks the piston in the master might be the prob |

| Yeah flyinlow, if they go to the end of travel sometimes they dont come back. only is a problem when bleeding coz obviously there's pressure to stop it normally. |

| My first TD was a bitch to bleed. Try with motor running to keep booster pressure up. If this fails reset proprtioning valve by unscrewing switch |

| think i may have to take it to work and put it up on the hoist and try again. but if that piston in the master cylinder is the problem i am in trouble |
