Hi
I know there are loads of existing threads on this, and I have been reading them but nothing really helped diagnose my problem.
My brake pedal travels quite far (about 3/4 of the way to the floor) before any noticable braking occurs. But when you pump the pedal, the pressure comes back again, only to fade again if you rest your foot on the brakes.
I've had all fours wheels off, changed all the pads and shoes and checked everything over. Fluid level is fine, one of the rear cylinders had a slight bit of fluid leak, but serious enough to worry about just yet.
If you pump the pedal and then switch the engine off, the pressure stays until you switch the engine on again.
If you press the pedal whilst starting the engine, you can feel the pedal get softer under your foot.
I'm thinking it's the vacuum pump? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!
