Hi.

I have several problems with my s2 and would be grateful of any help.

The first problem is that it's like a snail when I pull away in 1st, or slow down and then accelerate in 2nd gear. It's just so lazy to pick up any revs, you'd think I was towing someone. However, is does pick up when the car eventually reaches towards 2000rpm.

The second problem is that after recently fitting (all new) 4 pot calipers, slightly larger than standard disks (drilled/grooved) and braided brake hoses (front/rear), I can't get a decent brake pedal.
The pedal just is'nt firm enough, and the car takes longer to stop.
I've bled the system twice (no air bubbles present) and it's a bit better, but it's still bad (when bleeding, the pedal was realy slow in returning to the top). I've also checked there are no leaks.

I'm stuck with a car that does'nt go and does'nt stop

I would be grateful of any help.
