pressure bleed them...its almost definatly a fluid problem..
get sum1 to apply pressure to the pedal then bleed in order of nsr,osr,nsf,osf....
if this fails then possibly master cylinder failure!!!

haha, sorry...realised that later..:D

i think the standard hoses are causing this

standard hoses and turbo brakes here... pedal is rock hard

---

what about changing master cylinder?

bled usin the proper kit mate

bled using a pipe and jam jar?

if so get a gunsons bleeding kit. soooo much better and easier

and yes there set up right and have all been bled etc

brakes are ok....wouldnt say mint after travel

I have turbo brakes and long pedal travel, then brakes are mint. I presumed this was normal.

You will get more pedal travel as the pistons in the calipers are bigger, but once this travel has gone, the brakes are good or not?

Your 2 litre calipers are on correctly i assume, the bleed nipple at the top, plus you bled the rears as well?

You will get more travel before the brakes really kick in compared to a standard set up due to the servo size iirc.

are you using the hoses from the 1.2/1.4/1.6? this might be the cause i think

braided hoses might/will make a difference:thumbs:

brake pedal on my corsa is really sloppy....dead soft

it has brand new 2.0 litre pads/discs/calipers

been bled countless times
