t-aslam Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Hi,I have a problem. I needed to replace the brake master cylinder on my galaxy (mk2 tdi 115). So I took the old one out, not so straight forward as the reservoir is all big and odd. So I placed the reservoir onto the new master cylinder, I bled it using the finger over port method and installed it. It was almost impossible getting the master cylinder with the reservoir fitted back where it should be. The odd angles that I had toManoeuvre it through at meant most of the fluid leaked out through the clutch feed port and the master cylinder brake line ports, back to square one? Anyways I bolted everything up and bled the shit out of all 4 calipers. There was lots of air, however the pedal is spongy and slightly lower than usual. What can I do? The access to the MC is so tight it's difficult to get it back in without it leaking all over. Any ideas? Quote
viperclive Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Now I'm going back a few years, but after topping up, put a piece of cling film/polythene over hole then screw cap on, this should stop fluid leaking out while you manouver into place, remove on completion. Quote
t-aslam Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Posted April 11, 2014 Ok sorted, I put a gunson eezibleed pressure bleeder on the reservoir and cracked open the ports at the MC for a few mins. Then bled all round again and no more spongy pedal. Quote
