Hi

I have just fitted Gsi brakes to my 1.2 B. Problem is I cant get the brake pedal back. Pumps about half way up then when I turn the car on to test drive it the pedal goes soft again. Bled the brakes right through a few times and callipers ecy are moving free. Just cant keep the pressure

Number of things it could be...

1) youve got the bleed nipples facing down

2) there is still air in the system

3) youve not bled them correctly and youve nackered the master cylinder seal which has flipped - new master cylinder time. When bleeding did you pump the pedal right to the floor?
