Audi q5.
Replacement discs and pads and new caliper to near side rear... Now.... The caliper was seized, cut a long story short.... The piston came out, along with the fluid..... Car sat with the leaking caliper for 2 days over the weekend and today i fitted the caliper, and pressed the pedal.... Then realised to check the resovoir..... It was empty.
So i filled it up with brake fluid, and got an assistant to pump the pedal, eventually fluid came out the new caliper, i thought id do all, but only managed do drivers side front as other ones were so tight to undo i left them.... Just incase they broke.
Soon as i did driver's side fluid came out straight away..... Which lead me to believe there is no issue with air at front.
Now problem i have is the pedal goes down quite far.... But brakes seem to work ok..... Only tested on the drive so not driven it on the road yet.
Is it normal for the pedal to go far down to the ground after replacing rear caliper, discs and pads?
