Sponges brakes after fitting brembos

cs_dave · Mar 21, 2017

ok I fitted a pair of 197 brembos to my 182 bleed as std osr nsr osf nsf ran a litre of fluid threw but driving today they are spongey after a few brake checks the abs light serv light and traction popped up turned ignition off and on no more lights. I didn't let the res run low what have I cocked up on. This is a mod I've done on a few cars never ad this issue

Air in the abs pump unless you crimped the lines.

I didn't crimp as fitted custom lines for the front left the nipples open on the brembos to let fluid come threw pre bleed. This is going to be a mare ain't it :-(

You will need to give them a good work out, and bleed them , will probably need to do this a few times.
Other alternative is to use Clip to open the ABS whilst you bleed.

Just go out and get the ABS to fire 4-5 times and re-bleed, may have to do this a couple of times. I've ran my pump totally dry twice now and this worked both timed.

Wet grass also works.
Find a nice golf course and pick a green.
