springersrolla Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 gday just another little problem to keep me on my toes, when the car is cold in the morning the brakes have a f@$kin solid resistance against them when braking, they seem to take longer to pull up because it feels like the pedal is pushing back at me. I bled the system on sunday and the fluid is clean and no bubbles, so I'm leaning towards a booster or master problem, a few weeks ago the main resevoir rose above its level, so i took some out but i thought it was very strange, ive been keeping an eye on it, the thing is, it only seems problematic in the morning when u just start to drive it, no dramas in the arvo... the booster was reco'ed in 07 but whos to say its not playing up now. Any one had similar problems or troubleshooting methods??? thanks Quote
silverra23 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 This sounds like it might be a pad material problem. When its cooler your pads haven't warmed up and it takes a few applications as you start driving before they get some heat into them. Weird if the car is running pretty standard spec's though, more of a problem with performance oriented pads. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Could also be a lack of vacuum while its cold and the brake booster isn't giving you the assistance you're used to. Whats its like if you pull in the choke?.... if you have one. Quote
