No R32 Brake Pedal Pressure

[johnbarry88]

hey guys problem with a mates 32 gtst changed the pads and disks bled the breakes yet there still isnt any pressure on the pedal goes all the way to the floor? any ideas? do these have problems with mater cyclinders? brake boosters? any help would be good

Did the master cylinder ever run dry while you were bleeding the brakes?

You bled them RL, then RR, then FL, then FR? You tightened the bleed nipple before letting the pedal up?

[Jax]

Yes, they're not bled properly. Don't know how the lines run. It's possible to trap air in a low section of line, and not have enough fluid displacement with a pedal stroke to displace the air ( it just rolls back to the low point ). This can be a bit time consuming, but often works. Jack up one wheel, as high as possible, and bleed that wheel. Let it down, jack up next one, etc. Otherwise need to have it 'pressure bled.'

Like others have said, it's just probably some air in the system. If not that then you've got yourself a stuffed master or a leaking system.

[FineLine]

Did you actually bleed the master before you bled the lines? Could be as simple as that.

[skybarge]

Yeah it sounds like air in the lines

Unless you didn't remove the lines to do it?

Usually when isntalling the pads I undo the bleeder to push the caliper in, that way it doesn't force fluid back into the master

If you removed the hoses, then yeah, air in the lines

Had a bit of an experience yesterday, I forgot about mine, brakes were working fine on my drive, started driving it to my new house,

got on a very steep hill, no pedal :S straight to the floor :S

Ended up using the handbrake to stop, took about 10 meters though :S luckily no one was around to laugh at me

I thought not having working brakes a scary experience. I'm still on my L's and I recently had a leaking master and abs system. I was driving and it got to a stage where I had to use my engine to do all the braking. Scary experience, but it showed me how to control the car if someone cut the brakes in a way I guess. Stupid I know, but I kept driving the car like this for awhile (2 weeks).

Did you push the pistons back in the caliper without opening the bleed nipple as this has been known to damage the seal in master cylinder when you push the fluid back against the seal.
