Brakes Fading R32, Help!

[Jbone]

hi,

i notices the brakes getting very spongy couple of weeks ago so changed all the brake fluid and bled it all and it seemed to fix it.

untill today.

it was good on the way to work but first time i hit the brakes on the way home, they go to the floor.

is it possible my master cylinder is dead?

cant think of anything else it could be

if the master cylinder is full of fluid still then it fairly safe to say its stuffed, however if its out of fluid there could be a leak on the lines or calipers somewhere.

bugger, its still full

can these be fixed or do i need a replacememnt?

can usually put a seal kit through them provided the bore isn't damaged. even if it is damaged most of them you can get a sleeve put in them as well.

so you can either take it straight to a brake specialist that can reco the master for you, or pickup a s/hand master depending on your circumstances.

always seems to be plenty of low km half cuts around that people must have these bit left over, otherwise reco is a fairly safe option.

any ideas on the cost involved with reco?

I've had a master cyl die where it didn't leak.

Pedal went to just off the floor; the rear breaks stopped working the front still worked but only had around 5cm's or so of pedal travel left.
