Cooz93 66 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 So after upgrading my from brakes to 312mm from 280mm and replacing front and rear hoses with stainless ones I'm having trouble with getting the brake pedal right. I've bled the brakes about 3 times now. Doing the right sequence and also making sure that the small box on the rear axle is compressed. Can't rmenever what it's called. So where do I go from here? I'm fairly sure there isn't any air in the system as I've followed all the correct steps and even used a bleed kit. Could anyone shed light on this?Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Therusterman 59 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 What Luke said, made a difference for me when I purged the brakes, if possible. Have been reading that the brake feel isn't great when compared to modern cars. Link to post Share on other sites
Cooz93 66 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Nice. Will have to give that a try. Now to find someone with vag com! Ye they weren't great before but they really aren't great now. Will maybe wait until I do the 256mm swap on the back. Cheers guys Link to post Share on other sites
