Default brakes :(

Sorry lads if you have heard this a billion times but I have removed the abs from my s2, did this without engine in so I could do it properly, I've bled it but now the pedal has no resistance when engine is running. Anyone reckon this is a big air lock or any ideas or tips, cheeRs

think you have to remove everything from the system and replace it with non abs parts

have you just removed the abs portion and retained the master cylinder?

Ye still got the abs master cylinder, but other than that its just standard pipe to t pieces and then straight to the brake. I know the servo is good, might try a non abs master Cylinder
