Re: Excessive brake pedal travel HELP PLEASE

Quick update, I had the race mechanic at work check the car over, he confirmed its not air in the system as you can't pump the pedal up, he checked over the hole system and said everything is working as should be, he said it feels like the servo is over vacuuming, we took the one way valve out of th...

Re: Excessive brake pedal travel HELP PLEASE

Ok cool, I'll give the vacuum bleeding a try, do you use an air fed vacuum bleeder or a hand pump one??

Re: Excessive brake pedal travel HELP PLEASE

Hi Scott, Things to check in this order : condition of front caliper pistons, vacuum test for leaks (many brake problems are caused by tiny leaks), pedal height.
