bad brakes

[VW BUSH]

I have lost some fluid but i aint seen a leak anywere. Well ezibleed will pressurise the system wont it?

How do you know you lost some? (not being rude)
Was it just low when you came to top up or did you notice a loss over a couple of weeks?
Check the pedal end of the MC for fluid

[sharki786]

No i topped it up to the max line a few months ago and i looked today and its on minimum.
Im goi g to check it today.
My mates dad said to me that im not ment to have wound the rear calipers all the way in?

Well if you have air in the system some of it might have escaped, so the fluid takes its place. Gravity will still do its job 

[sharki786]

They have been like thay for a few months now. Its not happened in the past few weeks. Thats why i dont drive my car. If you say the fluid had replaced the air then why are my brakes still poo?

[tweed]

Replace some air not all.

Plus the level will go down as the pads wear down. The pistons will be further out and will have more fluid in the calipers.
Was your pads low when the level was low?

Still poo because you still have air in them.

Ive always wound the rear pistons all the way in and always been fine. Few pushes on the brake pedal or use the handbrake a few times and they push out to where they need to be.

[sharki786]

With my old pads the level was on max. But when i changed the pads i also did a fluid change from dot 4 to dot 5.1
I am going to take it for re bleeding

[sharki786]

Could someone tell me how to test the servo plz! Want to get it off my mind

[Bellend]

Servo is fine.

Rebleed and check for leaks. I had a Transit Connect which stopped fine but pedal went down only with servo assistance. Turned out to have the tinyest tinyest hole in a brake line.

Eezibleed system is good. I'd like the find a professional version. Vacuum ones are crap.

I've never had issue with ABS having air inside with the Eezibleed. If you have abs you won't have a compensator.

Just bleed and bleed and bleed. You'll be surprised just as you think yep no air, tonnes comes out.

That eezibleed system is far better than pushing the pedal down IMO as I've had 100% success rate after a corrado didn't wanna bleed when new lines put on, the eezibleed is so much quicker.

[sharki786]

Ok i will get the ezibleed onto it. Thanks for the info. As i have mk4 rear calipers is there any special way to bleed them? As i have heard that they are very hard to bleed due to where the nipple is?

[Bellend]

All the nipples are pointing up, yes?
