Hello all.

I have upgraded my front braked to 4 pots and fitted new pads all round. Problem I'm having now is I'm struggling to bleed them. Tried everything but pedal is very spongy and goes to the floor.

Any help? Thanks

Not bled enough, fluid level to low, leak somewhere

have a look at these threads, the order in which you bleed each corner makes a big difference, if still soft after several bleeds in correct order drive the car for a few days then try again, this will help the air bubbles come together and come out in one go. Had the same issue with mine but got it sorted this way.

Do you have the calipers on the correct side , with the bleed nipple at the top ?

Quite a few have put them on the wrong side so the bleed nipple is at the bottom and they will never bleed like that

Thanks for all the replies guys!

Turns out I had the calipers on the wrong way lmao.....
I have fitted lowering springs, new disks and 4 pots.. Now when driving I get a weird knocking sound from drivers rear wheel and passenger front??
Feels like the wheel is flat but its not. Any ideas ?

Thanks

pad retaining clips fitted upside down would cause knocking

Or lowering it has made a worn ball joint knock more, I'd say arb links to check first
