oldrx Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 So put new pads in the rear (a32 cefiro) - took me ages to work out that the caliper piston screws in meanwhile I was trying to force it in with G clamp and then intermittently smashing clockwise in with hammer and screwdriver (sister in law had a audi that you had to do that way) before figuring you just screw the fucking thing in goddamit. Bled the rear. Now the brake pedal goes to the floor with just a little resistance - enough to stop at low speeds (havent tried high speeds despite contemplating suicide while trying to fix POS car with POS skills). Bled again no change With car not running the pedal is also soft (but not as much) and sinks to floor. Wondering if i have fucked a caliper?

oldrx Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Yeah wondered about that. When i pump the pedal with bonnet up i can hear like a squishy fluidy noise not sure if this is normal or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 You gotta bleed all the brakes starting with furthest one away from the resovoir finishing at the closest ,but you may have damaged the piston as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2Racing Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Does the car have ABS? If so could have done the pump. that is big coin. I work for a parts retailer see it done about once a month. ABS has to be bleed as the piston goes back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrx Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Turns out it just needed bleeding again and a bit better haha thanks for replies though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
