Hi,
The brakes on the wifemobile (Skoda Felicia 1.9D Estate, 1998, non-ABS), are spongy and have been so for a little while now. This was picked up on the annual service last week. In responses to some other service points, I've just replaced both rear wheel cylinders, both shoes (inc. fitting kit), drums and rear wheel bearings. I've also changed the brake fluid (pressurised bleed kit, blown all the old out first then filled with new and thoroughly bled). I've greased the sliders on the front calipers (they seemed fine anyway) and they're adjusting as they should.
The sponginess remains. :-(
The feel on the pedal is that it's a bit spongy AND if you maintain hard constant pressure the pedal slowly gives and moves downward.
I'm starting to suspect the master cylinder, or maybe something else although I can't think of a lot else!
Any comments or suggestions?
Cheers, Nick
