I got a problem with my brakes.!!
I got a problem with my brakes.!!
When i push the pedal it goes down a bit and everything seems normal, but if i pump the pedal one time i get brake power earlier on the pedal.
What could this be?
Im thinking of the brake fluid cause i've checked the rotors and pads. I have only had the car for about 4 months so i've been driving pretty hard.
Im gonna get new brake fluid and i wonder how you empty the system when u have ABS, first time i have to do this with ABS.

Assuming you have a turbo engine.
Try stepping on the accelerator (so boost builds) and then stepping on the brakes straight away. IF the brakes don't work too well then it's because of the one-way valve not working.
There should be a 8mm hose going from your brake booster to the manifold, and in that hose-line, there should be a one-way valve. Use the standard 'blow-through' test to check whether the valve is working.
Just be careful and I hope you find the problem there.
