Hi peoples
Can you help?
I have an 04 TDI Leon Cupra and since buying the car i've never been impressed with the brakes. I've just upgraded to 2500's and 312mm discs. Trouble is im still not that impressed.
When I pump the pedal (engine running) it's goes stiff briefly but when my foot's kept on, it sinks to around half way. When engine is off it holds ok. Basically the brakes don't have much initial bite ever! I had a 05 megane and the brakes used to put you through the windscreen - I want that again!
I'm thinking brake fluid change? but i've been reading threads and i'm worried Re: master cylinder???
When bleeding the brakes do u need to also bleed the master cylinder? How many bleed nipples in there on it and how easy is that that to do? What about ABS system too? Oh and also how much (ml) of fluid would i need for a complete flush?
Thank you very much for any help!
