    2005 Vito 111CDi brake pedal sinks to the floor. I've bled the complete brake system and there's a good firm pedal with the engine off, but when the engine is running the pedal sinks to the floor. Pumping the brakes brings the pedal up, but it sinks straight down. The brakes bite when the...

    55 Kompressor brake pedal travel.

    Hello. Just had new pads, discs and had the system bled. My problem is there's quite a lot of brake pedal travel, maybe about half an inch before the brakes start to kick in. It was like this before but I was hoping the new pads, discs would fix this. It's a shame as the stopping power of...

    Brake travel on 220CDi coupe

    Hi guys - the C220CDi Coupe I just bought seems to have quite a bit of pedal travel before the brakes bite. I am also pretty sure that there is some pedal movement when sitting with my foot on the brake. The brakes are working well aside from this, in fact they stop on a button when pressed...
