Brake Pedal travel/bleeding ph1 172

[cam_hoof]

As above really, i have got quite a bit of travel and spongy feeling on my break pedal i have tried bleeding them but still has not made any difference, the breaks do work but not as well as i think they should, there is plenty of meet left on the discs and pads, when i bled the breaks there was quite a bit of air in the system but i bled it through until it stopped but didn't make any difference, so any ideas/suggestion's?
Thanks,
Cam

Either get it bleed using the Clip diagnostic system which put the ABS into bleed mode, if that dont work then a new master cylinder is probably needed.
Have only ever had to change 3 master cylinders due to this problem, so I expect a decent and proper brake bleed will sort it out.

do u no how much to bleed using the Clip diagnostic system, an would getting the abs to fire up under breaking release the air from the system and allow me to bleed it through? bit of a long shot i no,
