Well doesnt need much explination what this topic is about, but feck me what a difference changing the fluid did.

My brakes have felt a little spongy lately and I changed the pad and I thought I would completely change the whole of the brake fluid while I was at it.

The pads that I too off where only about half done, but the fluid that came out wasnt in the best condition, ranged from the dirty brown to green :confused:

Anyway, not the pedal feels lighter and more responsive. The slightest movement on the pedal the the reaction is instant, I can also brake harder now before the ABS kicks in and when its does its only needed on 2 or 3 occations.

Before pressing the pedal harder would not cause any real change in the braking rate and then all of a sudden it would lock up.

 

 

If you are changing your brakes soon, I suggest that you completely change your fluid. It took nearly all of a 1 litre bottle of fluid.

how much does that much fluid cost then? Getting the pads changed before the car goes back on the road so new fluid seems like a good idea, I guess its still on the fluid it came with from new.

I think the fluid I got was only £8 or so.

hmm, bargain, will get some :)
