Charlielupo Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hey, my brakes are starting to do my head in! has brand new disks and pads on, but they are really spongy. Its a 1.7 SDI and done 91,000 miles. My guess is they need bleading through, any other things that might be wrong with them? Also I want to upgrade them as the car is awful at stopping, would the GTI brakes suit?cheers Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I would take it on a hard drive, and try to work the brakes hard... Might not have bedded in, this can lead to a spongy pedal, but it's more likely that there is air in the system, if you cant do it yourself, a garage could probably sort that very easily.As for upgrades, some decent fast road pads would be a good bet, have a look down the tuning section for threads on upgrading brake pads.
