help no brakes
Changed the rear calipers, bled the full system, changed the fluid, spongy pedal goes all the way to the floor...
I gather this could be the master cylinder... if so should I be able to see the leakage or can it leak internally... many many codes coming up...all todo with BCM and Anti skid etc/// |

Check and double check that the caliper spring has been installed correctly.

An incorrectly fitted spring can reduce resistance in the caliper and allow excessive pedal travel.
Quite a common and often mentioned problem on here.

Springs all look fine.. swopped the master cylinder. Still not quiet right but much better... I'll bleed the 4 corners again tomorrow.

Some cars have a procedure to bleed the abs pump. Not sure if the XC90 does or not.
