A known problem with EG Civics. About $200 to fix. This problem for me has stopped because the weather is cooler but in warm temperatures and with the air con on my brakes did exactly the same thing.
I have a similar problem, maybe the same... I had the MC changed, but still the problem is there...
I almost had too accidents due to having no pedal at all... going to do a huge brake inspection this week, and even change my lines with braided ones...
I think some air in your brake system. If you don't know the right method to bleed your brake fluid, try to honda to fix it. I had the same experience before, but i fix now.
yeah all fixed now
65 for the master cylinder rebuild kit.. genunine honda part
45 for labour to get rebuilt
10 bucks for honda brake fluid
and about half an hour of my time to bleed the brakes
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.
no the holes on the master cylinder where the two brake lines screw into.
when you install a new or rebuilt master cylinder you must bleed it 1st. with out the brake lines connected. use a plasic bag to cover the master cylinder and catch the fluid coming out of it.
