2012 XC60 New Discs & Pads Fitted - Braking Gone To Mush
Evening,
I've just spent an exciting(!) couple of days changing the offside driveshaft (never believe a Haynes manual) and all the discs and pads on my 2012 D3. The braking performance is worse than before, and I've acquired what sounds like an asthmatic exhale from behind the dashboard when I push the pedal with the engine running. If I stop the engine and work the pedal, the sound can be heard for a couple of pumps and then it stops, and the pedal travel stiffens up considerably. No errors showing up in VIDA (I thought it might be an ABS problem with changing the driveshaft). I pushed the caliper pistons back using a G Clamp (slowly, and removing the excess from the reservoir with a pipette), but I'm wondering if this has caused a problem in the system? I've still got braking, so I'm hoping the master cylinder is ok, but the Haynes makes mention of a vacuum servo unit. Any ideas? |
