Smilge Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Sounds like you've flipped the seals in the master cylinder even though you've replaced it. Quote
Bigjeeze Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I think you need to re bleed the brakes again - If that doesn't help then check out the brake servo - If the brake pedal is hard when the engine isn't running the hydraulics must be OK - You might still have air in the system particularly in the ABS system pump.

j0nesy Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Posted March 5, 2009 the pedal is hard when the engine is not running as soon as you start the engine the pedal go's to the floor the brakes do work to a point as long as you dont need to stop fast your ok but i aint driveing it as you never no when you need to stop fast Quote
Beyond Help? Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Buy yourself a pressure bleeder and bleed all four corners until the clean fluid comes out. The Gunson's Eezi-Bleed is cheap and very effective. Make sure you partially deflate the tyre supplying the air though or you may pop the seals out. Quote
