Alright lads, I'm having a nightmare bleeding the brakes on my EK. I'm running the following setup
DC2 front calipers
DC2 Master Cylinder
Hel braided lines
Ferodo Ds2500 pads
Plain discs
Endless Rf 650 fluid
I stripped everything and I mean everything from the rear of my EK to address some rust issues. The braided hoses were also removed and the lines would of emptied themselfs of fluid over time.
I've finished with the rust problems and re fitted everything back onto the car.
I've bled the brakes in the correct sequence like I normally would. This time I've bled over and over again but I'm still left with a spongey pedal.
So I've bled the master cylinder on both lines, the pedal got harder but still not happy with It. I've moved onto the ABS unit aswell without any results.
I've tried bleeding the brakes manually with 2 people. Also with a vacuum bleeder and non return valve bleeder.
Nothing seems to be working. Could the MC be at fault ?
Someone shed some light on this issue please.
Cheers
