hi the other day I noticed the car was sticking from one of the calipers just moving from the drive , I jacked it up and it was the drivers side rear , mk 2 seat leon 2006.
a long story short I needed a new caliper , I noticed it had been seized for a while as the disc was like new and the other good side had some wear because it had been working properly.
I bought a like for like new from euro and clamped the flexi and fitted it along with a new set of rear pads , as I was pumping the sytem just to bleed it the res run low and I lost all pressure , I topped up and gave it a lot more tries until I was pumping through again , I also adjusted the hand brake up so it clicks 3 nothches.
nowwhen the engine is running the brake pedal takes only 7 seconds to sink to the floor and even more weird when the handbrake is applied tight upto 3 notches and I press the foot brake to the floor I can then pull a slack handbrake up around the top 10 notches , ive read loads and loads about his on mk 1s but not much on mk 2s , it just seems too unsafe to drive at the moment ,
today I took it to the local garage with a power bleeder with no success its just still the same , pedal goes to the floor when engine is running and hadbrake ok until foot brake is floored , any help would be great , sorry to go on but ive had wheels on and off 5 times bleeding dot 4 through , I gone through 4 litres working from n/s rear , o/s rear , n/s front o/s front ,
Am I right in thinking theres no bleed nipple on the master cylinder on mk 2s?????
please help
