whats wrong with my brakes??
hi people.
i have just recently upgraded my disks,pads and changed the fluid to dot 5.1 on my orion. I now discover that if i push the brake pedal slowly it will go all the way to the floor and them bit allitle bit but then if i bake sharp it works fine??? could it just be air in the system or could it be my sevo? any ideas?? thanks |
AND THE CAR IS A ??????????????????

I think it is an ORION, as it says so, your as bad as me!!
Sounds like the m'cyl seals may be weak. tabetha |

give your brakes 500 miles to bed in

I wud say there is air in the system if u pump the brake pedal a few times does the pedal go hard. Then push the pedal again n if it goes 2 the floor i wud of said it has air in the system.

yer thats pretty much exactly what it dose,it dose it most when say im comming upto a junction or summin and i press it lightly it will just sink to the floor so i will have to take my foot off it and press it hard n then it will work. i gunna bleed them again tonight,do you know if there are any other bleed nipples other than the ones on the calipers?
thanks |
will be air in the system mate, make sure you hold the pedal down then do the bleed nipple up , id give it a few goes with a bleeder, hth, cheers mark. :top:
