Having a little problem with my brakes.
Some heavy braking one night made them go a bit "squishy"
took them to local garage who bled them and made them more "squishy"
took them to VAG specialist who bled them with VAG COM and got them less squishy.
What the vag specialist found was when the front two brake pipes were clamped the pedal went hard again and clamping the rear brakes made no difference.
They reckon the front calipers are probably knackered.
I want to know before shelling out on unessassary parts is it likely to be the calipers or master cylinder ?
I have recently put new pads and disks on and that hasnt made a difference other than perhaps make it slightly more squishy feeling again, which was initially quite bad and now I have used the car a bit they have bedded back down again.
Hope you can help.
Fingers crossed
