AUDI TT (99). I BLED ALL MY BRAKES THROUGH USINGTHE PRESURE BLEED METHOD WERE U PUMP UP PEDAL THEN RELEASE THE NIPPLE, THEN SAME AGAIN. PEDAL STILL SEEMS TO TRAVEL TO FAR TO FLOOR. IS THERE A SPECIAL WAY OR A CERTAIN SEQUENCE YOU HAVE TO DO IT IT . IF NOT ANY OTHERE IDEAS WHATS UP. ANY HELP WELCOME CHEERS [align=right][/align]

 

that method works well...where you adding fluid as you bled?...plenty if fluid still in the res?

 

Pump and bleed works well. Caution should be taken as well.
Ihad to remove my calipers once and while I was bleeding the system my master brake cylinder went out.
I bought the car used and did brake work on it on the first week.
Im not saying that its going to happen its just some food for thought.
If they never feel right then your local brake shop shouldnt charge you more than 40 bucks.

 

ok what did your pedal feel like when master cylinder went down

 

This is slightly off-topic, but how long do the brakes typically last before needing to be replaced?

 

The pedal was pretty soft the only way it felt right to stop was to pump the brake pedal to bu ild up pressure.
The leak was big enough to allow air inside but small enough to allow pressure to build up.
Sorry for the late reply.

Smecker: Pads normally 30,000 rotors around 60,000.

 

What did the master cylinder repair cost you?
