5G 2.0 Brake issue

Hello lads,

My brother drives a 5g lude and recently the brake pedal seems to have a lot of travel in it before it engages.

We have bled the calipers and cleaned up the disks with a wire brush, they have been re greased and the hand brake cable has also been adjusted.

But there still seems to be some travel in the pedal, probably 1-2 cm before the car starts to brake.

Has anyone experienced this and if so, what can be done to sort the issue out.

Peace

Ranj

I have the same issue with mine.
I think it's the slave cylinder either needs bleeding or replacing but am not entirely sure.

Did you follow the procedure in the service manual for bleeding the brakes?

I didn't do it bud. A friend did it for my brother but will look into that issue for him
