Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have noticed recently that I have slightly more brake pedal travel than I used to get. Previously I could brake with the left side of my foot and blip the throttle with the right. Now the brake pedal is almost level with the throttle so its become more difficult. The actual power of the brakes seem about the same but with slightly more travel. There is still around 50% of the pads left and the disk are still quite good, I had them checked. Any ideas on how I can restore the pedal position.

POST 2Original post

When was your brake fluid last changed?

That I do not know. But It recently had a 48k service at an OPC, would it of been done then?

POST 4Original post

Not necessarily. It should be changed every 2 years. If it has been changed within that time, I suggest the first thing to do is get them bled.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
