patroddy Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Having some problems with my brakes.Thursday i noticed my brake pedal travel was ridiculous! The pressure is so close to the floor, friday it got even lower then I noticed that as I'm turning to park i get a scraping noise, then when i turn the wheel more than 10 degrees left i get a humming noise??? i also get wheel shake and pedal shake when i brake (as if my discs are warped - this has happened for a while though)any help is appreciated! The discs and pads have only done about 17k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 i think the cylinder is okay as when i pump the pedal I'm getting pressure come all the way back up the pedal its just when i turn the engine over the pressure is lost all the way down the pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Check your brake servo pipe isn't cracked, might have a tiny crack init Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Sounds like you have several problems tbh, I'd get it up in the air and take your front wheels off and have a look at your wheel bearings, maybe abs rings and sensors, your long travel at a push could be siezed or sticking caliper sliders, or maybe air in your lines I guess. Best bet is to get the components to bits and have a good tidy up, with the wheels off it may become obvious straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if that doesn't work i managed to source for a year £20 a master cylinder, servo and reservoir from a breakers so i have that as a reserve but i can't feel any liquid in the footwell so I'm hoping i don't have to change that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Do you have callipers? I have a spare set you can have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kam Racing Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 You will find out whether the calipers are seized when you try to wind them in to fit the new brake pads and discs. I'd bleed the brakes and see if that recovers the braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Im going to bleed/flush out the system when i change the disc and pads to the g60 set that i emailed you about Kam / Kev. I know its not really fault finding its just chaining everything and hoping but I've wanted to do the g60 setup for a while so thought why not now.
