Hi guys I'm new to the forum and have got myself a gsi, have a serious problem with brakes.car has been off road for a while, the brake pedal feels ASIf there is air in it whilst braking and feels like it isn't going to stop you. But when stationary pedal pumps up perfect, have fitted new master cylinder, new wheel cylinders new front discs and pads and had a full brake fluid Chang with pressure bleeder. Any ideas? Thanks andy

Seized calliper? Does it pull to one side when braking hard?

After a drive are all 4 brakes getting hot?

Calipers are all free not sure on wot they were like before as front brakes were stuck on after being stood. All brakes operate perfect on brake tester as well.

The GSi pedal isn't famous for feeling great, if it stopping the car then that might be the best you'll get it.

You had the rears apart to check those?
