Yes the gsi's did seem to have the worst brakes, but everyone excpects the rear brakes to self adjust but in practice they rarely do. | |

well hes complaining of a spongy pedal but then saying its hard. I would always start by bleeding the brakes properly then looking for other causes. | |

bleed the brakes using a gunsons easibleed. £15 from halfords. that will either sort the problem or show up the fault. | |

hey, i have a 96 corsa gsi, the brakes work fine but not till the pedal is almost at the floor. I have bled all the brakes and it has improved but not much better, it has all new brake pipes, flexi hoses etc. the pedal is hard and doesnt go right to the floor and they dont fade. just doesnt feel right. any1? |
