Brakes suddenly feel weak
« on: June 05, 2016, 05:12:38 pm »
After cleaning my car all of a sudden my brakes feel really weak and the peddle spongy?

At first I put it down to them getting water and shampoo etc on them.

100 miles later they feel worse then ever?

I know a lot fit r32 brakes, I don't do track days so maybe a better pad would help? And bleed the brakes with vcds

No warning lights, just feel really bad all of a sudden, maybe new discs and pads

Take a wheel off at the front and have a quick look at house much pad/disc there is left. Don't think it's down to water from the car wash.
