Brake Pedal recessing
Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2016 5:31 am
I have an issue with brake pedal not holding pressure. On first press the pedal is firm , and travel is fine - but when keeping a constant pressure on the pedal it slowly and gradually descends over about 30 seconds until it is literally on the floor and braking is lost. A release and pump returns the pedal back to normal. The car had been standing for a considerable time unused prior to my purchase but recently it did have some attention to brakes as the flexible hoses and couplings are brand-new. (advised by seller).
I was just going to try another brake bleed and hope that fixes the problem as it may not have been done quite right, but I noticed in the workshop manual there are suggestions it could be Master Cylinder cups? ... I hope not but the pressure is being lost somewhere. I cant see any signs of leakage.
