Nah, there is a woman at his works also had this problem...seems like dealership were expecting a run of these as they had loads of parts in stock which the parts man said was unusual

When bleeding the brakes was the ABS unit cycled to get rid of the air that may have got in ? not sure if that would make a difference or not to normal braking, but worth a thought.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Took four goes and 1.5 litres of fluid to get my brakes bled on Saturday, would have cost a bomb in a Garage.
I would say take it back tell them its naff and to sort it, no brakes should be spongey  :smiley:

I think on polo's about that year the ABS unit can be cycled using VAG-com.
It could well be air trapped in the ABS unit.
My mum has a 2000 polo, the brakes are rock solid on that.
