Spongy brakes problem
I have bled the car brakes three times now, cannot see any air in the
system, but the brake pedal still feels a little spongy, and you have to depress the pedal a bit further to get the brakes to work as before. I have checked the brake pads and they all have lots of material left for another few years before needing replacement. The only thing new in the system after I started the brake fluid change is a brake caliper I had to replace (for a new one), I have not checked, but would assume it to be working as it is new and such a simple device. There are no apparent leaks in the system, at least, none that I can find, and none at the wheels. What could be making the brakes spongy compared to before I started when they were fine, but _needed_ a brake fluid change? Could the brake caliper be stuck and cause this spongyness? I have been using a "one-man" spare tyre pressurised brake bleeding kit, not depressing the brake pedal until all the brakes have been bled. Any help appreciated. |
