Urgent help needed!!
Hi Guys
Change both rear calipers today and bled the brakes, but I have a really spongy brake pedal aka no brakes unless I quickly pump the pedal a few times to get some brake. There was no more air coming out as I bled the brakes. When I push the pedal you can here a sucking noise from the brake pedal but when the handbrake is on I can pump the pedal once then it goes rock solid.
Anyone got any ideas?
thanks

Hi
Yeah nipples at the top, only thing I can think of is there is a leak somewhere. Was dark as I was trying to bleed them so will have a look when it's light again.

No was going back and forward in the drive as didn't want to drive around with literally no brakes. Couldn't find any leaks so ended up buying a vacuum pump to bleed them and after a while it worked, only concern was that one caliper seemed to have alot more air in it than the other.
