jimbop84 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 HiRecently done the front brakes on lupo1.4 sChanged the pads and bled the fluidThey still 5h1TIs this normal for these cars as the brakes on my golf gti are mega!!I appreciate the golf likely to be better but the ones on the lupo are truly poor!!!Perhaps change fluid as well?The drums/shoes on back look okAny suggestions would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayystuart Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Has it got an abs modulator? Could have air in the modulator? Bleed it, do a couple of abs stops so the modulator fires and then re-bleed. Or check the brake pipes for balooning ect.Saying all that i dont know lupo's very well at all so i could be talking out my arse, wait for someone with some car specific info to come along Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Sprocket Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Is the pedal firm?The new pads will take atleast 150 miles to bed in.Have you checked the effectiveness of the servo.WS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 If you've put standard pads in then yes, Lupo brakes are woeful.As said above, it'll take a bit of time before the pads a bedded in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1cr08472 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Do you drive the Golf more then the Lupo? I find if I swap cars it takes me a couple of days to get used to the pedal. Until I get used to it I'm either breaking my neck hitting the pedal to hard or nearly hitting the car in front by not putting enough pressure on the pedal.
