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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am looking for some advice on our 718 Cayman any help would be greatly appreciated At it's 4th year service in early December the brake fluid was changed. I'd noticed the brake feel deteriorate over the summer and thought that this would solve the issue but it still feels soft with a fair amount of travel. I mentioned this to the tech and they said it was normal Any advice?

POST 2Original post

Bleed the brakes out, see if any bubbles come along.

POST 4Original post

My money's on glazed pads. Take it out and drive it; braking hard from 60 - 20 repeatedly; with any luck you'll sharpen the pedal feel up once the pad surface has bedded back in.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the advice on this - I forgot to mention in early December the car had a brake fluid flush and front discs and pads at the main dealer The old ones were not completely out of life but I opted for the change because I noticed the soft pedal but it hasn't solved my issue

POST 6Original post

So.... did you do this when the brakes were first replaced? Pope said: My money's on glazed pads. Take it out and drive it; braking hard from 60 - 20 repeatedly; with any luck you'll sharpen the pedal feel up once the pad surface has bedded back in. And is the car for sale?

Braided lines may also assist, if the current ones have expanded Unlikely to be that significant though
