it sounds to me like there could either be broken diaphragm (think thats how to spell it) in the master cylinder if so the master cylindar will have to be overhauled or replaced which ever is cheaper mate because you will be getting the same results
also im not sure whether the vti has abs but if so there could be an air lock in there, it happened with my ludes abs system which is a corresponding system to the original system, so after i spent about a grand on the brakes they told me that i had to go to honda to fix it (the abs leak) that is
-
get a new master cylinder....this has happen to me tooo and it fixed the problem
-
car has no ABS
4thgenCivic how much did the new bmc set you back?
-
is it difficult to rebuild the master cylinder.
i have bought the part
now im thinking of doing the job myself.
does anyone have a diagram of how the parts fit into the mc
i have the service manual but it doesnt show you how to rebuild them, only replace.
-
it would be best to take it someware like a brake place or a mechanic, if your unsure you probably shouldnt be doing it yourself. brakes are to imortant to get wrong
-
yeah i figured i better give it to someone that knows what they're doing.
anyway found a place that will do it for $40
does that sound reasonable?
-
bargain
as long as they bleed the brakes as well
-
oops i should have mentioned im gunna be pulling it out
and supplying them with the bmc and kit.. so im paying just for them to overhaul/rebuild it
i can put it back in and bleed the brakes easy..
i got quotes between $80-90 to drop my car off and let them do everything
-
still good
still bleed the master cylinder 1st then connect the brake lines. then bleed the rest of the system
-
when u say bleed the master cylinder first
do you mean just top it up and pump the brakes to get the fluid flowing through and clean the crap out
btw thanks for all your help mate
-
yes that is one reson but the main reson is to get the air out of it, or you will be bleeding brakes for a while.
use a plastic bag to catch the fluid, fill the resivor , get some one push the pedal down, then plug both holes with your fingers, then get them to lift there foot up. then unplug the holes. and down again. do this until you get a steady stream of brake fluid coming out from both holes. know what I mean.
-
yeah i get it now
cheers!
