Hey guys, lately Iv noticed the brake pedal on our 2012 Audi Q7 has gone really soft. Like as if it has air in the system.
Had a local mechanic have a look and he said caliper nipples were broken so couldn’t bleed.
Iv had new caliper nipples fitted, brakes were bled and they seemed fine for 30 miles or so but as soon as I carried on driving I felt the pedal going very soft, so arranged a recovery to take home.
It’s been bled again (manually) and same fault - pedal has gone really soft. There’s no leak of fluid and I changed brake discs and pads about 7/8months ago so don’t think that’s the issue.
Has anyone encountered this soft pedal issue - if so how has it been fixed?
I don’t fancy swapping out all the brake parts if the fault lies elsewhere.
Any advice appreciated
