Leaving Skid Marks
I'm going to need help on this one guys.
My brakes are officially horrible.
The brakes pedal feels normal but the braking performance is woeful. It's so bad I can't even get ABS to engage even if I try to panic brake as a test.
Things that's been done:
New pads and rotors less than 6 months ago (remsa pads)
New brake fluid and system bled
Calipers were rebuilt a few years ago.
I've troubleshooted:
Pumped brakes with car off, pedal goes hard. With pedal down hard I started the car, pedal moves further down and is soft due to power assistance. All normal here, doesn't feel spongy nor vague... feels like a normal brake pedal making normal brake pedal noises (slight air noise from pedal when pressed)
With car just off held pedal down for 30 secs, then pumped pedal which achieved 3 actions before pedal went hard.
Tested fluid for moisture contamination, all clear.
No leaks, no hoses off, no bad connections.
It just needs a hell of a lot of pressure on the brake pedal to get anything out of them.
ideas?
It's got me stumped
