Re: Things can only get better
Replacement master cylinder put on and started bleeding the brakes from passenger side rear first, took ages before fluid started coming through and pressure built up in the pedal when one final push the pedal went bang and went all spongey again, have i broken something else? beginning to loose patients with the bl**dy thing now

Re: Things can only get better
try this
with the engine off, pump the brake pedal till its firm...then keep the pressure on ...after a short time does the pedal sinking??
then keep foot on pedal and start the car.....does the pedal then sink?

With the engine off there is no pressure building when pumping the brake pedal, it just springs back.

Re: Things can only get better
would have thought it would still be getting firm, usually means servo is away
next I would try isolating each brake circuit and see if it feels better ...clamp each flexy one at a time and test brakes

Re: Things can only get better
picking up one of those bleder things you plug into the spare tyre tomorrow as the drivers side rear was not getting anything through when manually bleeding. hopefully its just a lot of air trapped. hope its not the servo as dont fancy changing that in the rain. Last time i went under the dashboard i ended up in hospital with a hernia

Now you tell us ....so you have taken out the bleed nipple and checked its clean and can allow fluid through, or even swapped it with the other side ??
Re: Things can only get better
Should be as its a new recon calipre both sides, shall see when its back bled

Re: Things can only get better
Ok anyone got a match????
Got an ezzebleed thing and set it all up, bled the rear passenger side ok but on doing the rear driver and front passenger i could actually take the bleed nipples out and no fluid would come out, any more ideas
there is now a little pressure when pumping the pedal with engine off but with engine on there is non at all.

Re: Things can only get better
If your not getting fluid out on one circuit then its your master cylinder thats faulty ..all it can be, and yes I know you got another one
if you still have the one you took off, try and block each one of the outlest bar one and push the rod and see if any fluid comes out, and then do each one

Re: Things can only get better
only other thing I can think of is your ABS unit. the brake pipes go from the master cylinder to the ABS unit then from there to the brakes ...you could undo the pipe that goes from the master cylinder to the respective slot on the ABS unit and check its getting fluid to the ABS unit, then undo the pipe from the ABS to the brake and see if its got fluid there....if its getting fluid at the ABS but not coming out, you looking at replacing the ABS unit
Re: Things can only get better
as always help and advice always appreciated, dont think its the abs unit as fluid is getting out to the calipers ie the rear pass side bleeds ok and the rear drivers did have a slight trickle. I'm begginning to think its the servo as there just doesn't seem to be any pressure on the pedal. typically my car always breakes when i'm on the nightshift and its raining

Trying to work out wether its my servo thats failed as there is no pressure on the pedal. I tried your cylinder with my servo, i may just try your servo with your cylinder at the weekend
