Mrs spec'c' has ap 6 pots that seem to require a second push before they really bite. will a fluid change solve this????

 

I had some braided hoses fitted and a fluid change, and even with crappy 2 pots I noticed a difference, definately more bite from the pedal.

 

Sounds more like a pad compound problem than a fluid problem. Second dab gets the pads hot then they work OK. Any clues what make of pad you're running?

 

unsure at the moment but will check tonight... disks and pads were changed just before we got the car 6 monthish ago....

also never quite explained it last nite also. pedal just drop slightly then raises with the second push.. shoulda said that as well...

 

if the pedal 'firms' with the second push then it sounds like air or poor fluid....................
also make sure the pads move freely in the calipers

sounds very much like that... will check the pads too...
