MOT fail. Looking for help

[Darrenliddell1]

Alright lads. Recently put new pads on my mk3. Which has made my handbrake a hell of a lot worse and my foot pedal kind of spongey. Bled the brakes afterwords so just looking for any help lads. Cheers!

Did you compress the calliper piston back in before you fitted the new pads?

Yes mate I bought a rewind tool and wound the piston back in.

They will need bleeding again I'd guess.

As above, and you need to check the line connections are all dry and secure. But chances are a little bubble has got in through the bleed nipple
