Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

just had mot done on my ctr and its passed but they had to change balljoint on front right and brake hose on left rear.

after picking up my ctr i noticed that the brake travel is twice distance on the pedal and i have to pump it again and it goes back to normal.

and after a few minutes it happens again and i have to pump it. so garage have checked the the hose they replace and bleed the system, still doing it.

any ideas ? i think somehow there is a air bubble in system ? thanks

btw never had this before since i owned the car since from new 2003

Go back to the garage and tell them to bleed the whole system with new fluid

they have bleed the system but dont think with new fluid. does that make a difference ? it was working fine before the mot.

Think they left air in the system dont think its bleeded properly
They should of added new fluid to the system

thanks for the feedback, car booked in next week will ask them to do that !

Shouldn't need to bleed the whole system only that line.

well last week they bled the system again with a suction machine but still the same. any further ideas ? can changing new fluid sort this ? booked in again tomorrow.

Had this trouble for months. I didn't realise but my front left caliper was sticking very slightly. Spin the wheels and listen for any rubbing noises
If you're in control you're just not going fast enough

All sorted now, garage change the brake fluid and no more fade in pedal. they also got me a 4 wheel lazer alignment as goodwill gesture. all in all happy now my CTR is back to normal.

Did they bleed the whole system then with new fluid?
