no brake pedal after all new brake system, please give me pointers!!!!!!!
so since thursday, i got new rotors and pads. replaced them . didnt unbolt the line or anything to depress the piston. once it was all on i bled the entire system, perfect pedal. when i started the car i had no pedal at all. so i checked for kinks in the lines or any leaks. i had none, but everything was replaced anyway. i have done everything from the pads to the booster. i can pull the vacuum hose from the booster and i have plenty vacuum. but as soon as i hit the brakes, they have no pressure and go to the floor. ive done every possilbe thing i can think of, everything is brand new. Never heard or seen this problem b4. any pointers would be greatly appreciated. thanks dudes
Did you push the pistons in when you put new pads?? You stand a chance that you took out your Mc. Sap make sure your bleeding them correctly and in the proper order.. Doing it wrong will lead to no pedal.
i bled the complete system correctly prolly 5 times now. and even tried to use a bleeder pump. and i did not push the pistons in when i put the pads on so there should of been no air let in anyway
MC is faulty. Booster just helps you when braking. Alot of people are deleting them, therefore not very important(i.e power steering pump, a/c). that's besides the point though, so I would definitly check the MC.
the master cylinder is brand new. just put a new one on, and still nothing. every piece of the brake system is brand new now and has been replaced. i just tried again this morning after my new bb and mc were replaced, and still same problem
I always push back the pistons when i do brakes and never have to bleed the system, i do this every day when i change brakes....

if u did not bench bleed that master cylinder ur fighting a losing battle... the new master cylinder should come with 2 adapters and 2 little hoses for u to bench bleed it after that install it and bleed the rest of the system..
thanks for all the help guys, today i was driving the car down the road and my car magically got a full brake pedal

haha ya. my brakes were completely gone, and i needed my car for skool, so i was driving over to a friends to see if he had any tricks up his sleeve, but then all of a sudden, super grip. i about went the the window even tho i was wearing my belt. sounds like a lame story, but my brakes are all good now so its all good.
Somethings not right and your ALL GOOD brakes are gonna scare or kill you! Get that **** looked at again. Brakes aren't something to just shoot and hope for the best. Or just learn how to use that lever on your side REALLY good!!!!
Be careful bro!!!!
