Default s1 rs turbo brakes

my cars been parked up for a little while and just started it up and drove it down the road.

basiclly when i pressed the brake pedal the pedal just feel soft and stays down and don't feel like its very bouncy so it springs back after being pushed down.

any idea.? i know the little yellow cap that push's down anc click fits on the resevoir is missing. Not the screw cap the little pop on yellow cap on top of the screw cap.

hope u can help

cheers

It could be that the brakes need a bit of a bleed up,or if the car hasent been used in a while,or you dont know when it last got the fluid changed it may be worth getting it sorted

If you have something missing that allows water/moisture to entyer the master cylinder it will be very water contaminated by now, so needs changing asap, this is very likely your problem.
