Jer309GTi 3 Posted February 16, 2007 Would air in the system cause the brake pedal to be spongy like you would normally associate with brakes with air in, but if you pump the pedal once or twice, it goes solid? I would have thought if there was air in the system it would be spongy all the time, and you couldn't pump the pedal up? Having issues getting the 405 brakes perfect, just though I'd ask if anyone had experienced this too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted February 17, 2007 Were you pumping with the engine on or off? Seem to remember the pedal goes solid after a few pumps with the engine off anyway. Have you refilled the whole system from dry? It will take alot of bleeding if you are. Mine are still not perfect after quite a few goes. Going to try a gravity bleed at the end of it, fingers crossed that get's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timmer205 0 Posted February 20, 2007 I have the same problem on standard 205 calipers, the brakes have been bled recently and the calipers lubricated and still they feel spongie. I am going to leave it for a bit then completely flush and re-bleed them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
