I've just plonked some Turbo (2 pot) calipers and brakes on my Sport to replace the dire single pot std units. I've bled them several times and am suffering with a spongy pedal.....help?
|
You have put the calipers on the right way , bleed nipples at the top of the calipers not the bottom ? if you have them upside down you wont bleed them..
|
thought they'd only go on one way.....??? I'll have to check now ...cheers :)
|
nope, definately at the top....would the master cylinder not be up to the job with the different calipers?
|
have you bled thro' the entire system (front & rear!) or just tried bleeding the fronts?? this would have an impact on the pedal.......bleed the rears a well

cheers, have bled the rears too!!! Do I have to have the engine running as I'm doing it? I found that I could get the pedal really hard when the ABS wasn't running (engine off) but as soon as I started it the pedal went soft.....
|
should be ok without power on.......what sequence are you doing them in?? remember to bleed in pairs (O/S/F - N/S/R & N/S/F - O/S/R).....
the reason you have a harder pedal with the engine off is normal as you have no servo assistance........ alyn - asperformance.com |
OK, what I have been doing is n/s/r then o/s/r then n/s/f and o/s/f....is that wrong...?
|
could well be..........as above, what you have is a "linked" system in two pairs!! bleed in the opposing way and see if that helps.......
the other thing it could be is you may notice a slightly poorer pedal due to the slight increase in piston area...... hope you sort, alyn - asperformance.com |
Cheers Alyn,
If only the pedal was slightly poorer..... I have little or no pedal at the mo'....anyway mate, thanks again |
