Taggy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Can a dodgy brake servo give me spongy brakes, its definetly not a bleeding issue as I have had it done by Grant and my self previously and it feels the same. There is no sharpness to the brakes at all when you brake hard think I am going to change the servo as me hitting it with a hammer to get it to fit may have done somthing to it lol ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Have they ever felt ok since you swapped everything from the later car? You've got the earlier master cylinder haven't you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay85 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Check that the calliper carrier runners aren't seized at the bottom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 What pads are in them? Calipers are only as good as the pads that are fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ready for something different.... When I fitted my high specs they were spongy as hell and my dad taught me a trick which may/may not work but it worked for me. Mine were spongy after replacement and full fluid replacement so what he told me to do was go home and pump the brake pedal so it was as hard as possible, then I had to wedge it down as hard as possible which compresses the fluid removing any air in the fluid you cannot bleed. I did this and wedged it hard with a stick between the pedal and seat. Next morning the stick was sat on the seat and the pedal was perfect Have a go, he's been in the business 35 years and it's an old trick apparently, but it worked a treat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
