Right here goes, my car has always been like this, you press the brakes to slow down and altho the pedal travel is fine you have to use half of the travel to feel the car start to slow down, now my OH has a 57 plate 105 like mine, in hers when you press the brake gently you feel the brakes kick in, if i pressed her pedal the way i press mine id go thro the windscreen, ive given the car a complete brake fluid change, fitted 312mm GTI front and rear brakes and its still the same, so im thinking at some point in her life she has got a little air in the ABS pump, and im also thinking if i activate the ABS pump and re bleed the brake that should help sort my pedal feel, is that right?
so how do you bleed the brakes using VCDS, is it a case of sitting in the car press the button on the laptop and then have someone open each bleeder while you pump the pedal, or is there another way?
any help would be great as the brakes on mine should make her stop on a pound coin
