Re: Mk3 Scenic's floor-sponging brake pedal

Brake fluid, which I was using in the 1990s, is completely ineffective. Following the car's repair, I decided to replace the brake pads and discs all over. Everything was going swimmingly until I encountered a calliper that wouldn't wind back with the motor or when manually pushed back with the moto...

Re: Mk3 Scenic's floor-sponging brake pedal

It came today, and it brakes much better and turns on easily. Braking has never been great or what you'd expect, and there was no advisory for braking, so I'm not sure how it passed. However, with this new calliper, it's much better. We've had the car for six months with a new mot, so I'm still not ...

Re: Mk3 Scenic's floor-sponging brake pedal

I see your point. Based on Mr. Mcginty's expertise and the fact that the opposite side is completely dry, I've concluded that it must be water. It can't get any worse than this, so I'll just install the new Calliper (which I ordered) and see how things work. It should arrive on Thursday. Sincerely, ...

Re: Mk3 Scenic's floor-sponging brake pedal

Now that I've taken out the problematic N_s rear motor, I see that the seal is dry, and I assume that the water dripping from the motor is the only problem. However, I did notice that the water tasted and flowed like brake fluid, so I'm not sure if that's the case. I'll view it from the opposite ang...

Re: Mk3 Scenic's floor-sponging brake pedal

The vehicle in question is a 2014 Scenic 1.5, and I appreciate you separating this topic. I will check under the vehicle tomorrow for any obvious indications, but I believe I heard a hissing sound when I applied the brake while the engine was running. I will be able to confirm this tomorrow when som...

Mk3 Scenic's floor-sponging brake pedal

On my 2014 1.5, this has recently begun to occur. Although the brakes have never been up to par with other cars, I've been driving it today and everything is fine. However, when I went to use it in the afternoon, I noticed that the pedal is very soft and goes all the way to the floor; in order to ge...
