sonofsam 5 Posted July 31, 2006 Hi Chaps after a bit of advice please Recently fitted new brake lines , copper and flexi's new calipers, pads and disc's plus a new master cylinder. Went to start filling the system up by pouring new fluid into the reservoir and pumped the peddle to get it running round the system, but then thought the MC isnt used to that much movement..have i damaged the seals? The system is full now as new fluid was seen from all bleed nipples. Bled the system again yesterday however the pedal feel is very jerky and progressive down to the floor... ...dont remember it going that far down either! Any advice would be great especially on how it should have been done and what i should do next? Thanks Sam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug309twin40s 1 Posted July 31, 2006 Sounds like you still have loads of air in the system. IT does take quite abit of bleeding the system when new pipes installed and master cylinder. gound round and give the system a good bleed. your master cylinder should be fine. you did bleed the system in the correct sequence??

hengti 2 Posted July 31, 2006 check you've got the right m/c as well - i remember using a GSF supplied part that was the wrong bore - resulted in a long pedal the bore size is cast in relief on the side of the m/c 20.6mm for a 1.9 i think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you by any chance take a note of each brake line's length? I want to prepare the work before taking the old lines off the car as it's my daily drive. EDIT: just went on this page Do you reckon that when they say 'LONG 500' this is the length of the pipe in millimeters?

sonofsam 5 Posted September 30, 2006 (edited) Nope fraid not futura, would of been a good thing to do I guess for later reference. heres a picture but its not the greatest of help. Also for ref. the long pedal travel was caused mainly by the turbo manifold>servo assitance, a one way valve soon sorted that and a hell of alot of bleeding.

You would like to think so wouldn't you But this is peugeot we're talking about! Im sure the job could be done in a weekend, even with taking the old pipes off and measuirng them for the new ones. Unless someone comes up with a definate yes about those dimensions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stu_woac 1 Posted September 30, 2006 I can say dimensions but it only took me a half a day to do the roland garros the rest of the day was other mot failure bits like cv boot hand brake cables new shoes the list was long DOH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
