Hi
Ive recently changed the rear calipers on my Audi A3 2ltr TDI. Changing them wasnt an issue and they were relatively simple to do. I've checked the Haynes manual and it said if the front section hasnt been disconnected then you shouldnt need to bleed this part of the system so it then states bleed rear right first followed by the rear left. So I followed the manual to the work compressing the break to build pressure and then pushing it to the ground while a friend turns the nipple by half a turn to allow the air and fluid to travel out. Felt fine when we were doing it felt like there was good pressure until I start the car up....
The lever is spongy and travels at least half way down before you attempts to break... Fine if you suddenly hit the breaks but if you coming to a gradual stop there spongy and it just doesnt feel right....
Im not sure what Im doing wrong... Should all four calipers be bled? Ive checked the reservoir while bleeding it and its had plenty of fluid in it.... Utter nightmare Ive bled breaks before hundreds of times and never had this issue......
Any advice would be appreciated !
