is there a way to check the Master brake servos working ok ?
also i think i have a problem with my ABS pump can you get air in it ? as i ve been having some brake problems and ive had them bleed twice now brakes fine just the peddle feels a bit spongy
THankS

Vag Com needed :smiley:
-
just found this out myself, if you have air in the abs pump you need vagcom to sort it
did you bleed the master cyclinder on both nipples??
luckily i didnt need the vagcom when i done mine
-
put key to ignition and pump brake pedal till it goes rock hard, then with pressure on pedal start the car, if pedal goes down slightly then your servo is working fine

. . Probaly nieve of me but only did the callipers :undecided: did rear passenger, rear drivers, passenger side then drivers. didn't even think about the Master cylinder it self, is it easy/same as doing the callipers ?

i can pump the pedal hard . . ish i can still force it down a bit if i really force it and i do get kick back when i turn the ignition so not the servo then

Well i had fun yest replaced 3 bleed nipples as there were foobard and then had fun with a sheared bolt and a odd drop link http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/379564.aspx
Going to get hold off Vag com and wire then bleed all again and master servo then prim ABS pump and see how it is after.
How had is it to do the servo and the vag the ABS ?

you need to bleed the master cyclinder mate i had the same issue the other day posted a thread bout it, do the master cyclinder first, nipple closest to the bulk head first then the other, then bleed back drivers, back pass, front pass & front drivers that should hopefully do it it did for me,
i just couldnt get any brakes at all, i bled every caliper twice!! then i found out i had to do the master cyclinder and now i have brakes lol :grin:

If your MS fails, you have NO pedal, usually find brake fluid leaking into back of footwell from it aswell.
