craggsy 91 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Right i've searched and got a rough idea but need reassurance. My brakes are spongy to the feel but if i pump them whilst driving they come back to bite properly. I havn't had chance to whip the wheel off where i did my front bearing to see if i've kinked the hose anywhere. I'm just hoping its not the master cylinder gone as thats more money up the wall.The discs and pads are only about 3-4 months old so should be fine. They just dont feel right to how they were.I need to sort this soon as i kinda need my brakes for the ring trip!!!!So anything for me to try will be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I actually got a really good price to change front calipers to my new ones from Midland VW Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Right i've sorted the spongy brakes.....proper plank when I put em all back together. Instead of making sure that the retainer spring was at the bottom i had pushed it up so it was basicly pushing piston back after i had pressed on the brakes.Oh well Link to post Share on other sites
