I replaced the front disks & pads on my 2002 Jetta TDI today. Brakes was working perfectly beforehand. Now pedal goes to the floor and poor braking power. If I pump the pedal, it gets better.
1) Brake fluid colour looks good, honey colored
2) The pads on the driver sides was worn through (btw, here in South Africa brake sensor is on the passenger side)
3) I compressed the pistons completely to get the new pads in
Any ideas? Is there any way I could've introduced air in the system if the reservoir was full and I didn't disturb any part of the hydraulic system? (No leaks I can detect anywhere)
Anyway of testing/diagnosing the master cylinder?
Thank you...
