250 Brakes problem

Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by Matthewdemin, Feb 6, 2021.

  1. It all started in December when i realized the brakes pedal is soft and fails low down with shakes and it doesnt stop as it should be.
    the first thing I did was bled the system. there was air inside
    this was enough for 3 days and then the pedal is down again and all same symptoms. pumped a few more times and again for 2-3 days everything is fine and then the problem returns
    then I changed the brake master cylinder and vaakum, and pumped the system again, but the replacement also did not help. after 3 days the pedal falls again.
    there is no leaks anywhere.
    front calipers bought new from Kam Racing. pads and discs are also new
    Maybe someone had this. what is the matter and how to fix the problem.
    It scary to ride
     
  2. purge abs pump with clip,and power bleed.
     
  3. already did it at the dealer center. the problem came back after 2 days
     
  4. Have you checked or replaced the slave cylinder?
     
  5. I replaced that part

  14. have look at air in ABS system, needs electronic device to open ABS valves
     
  15. I also already done with what at Renault dealer with clip but also after 3 days problem is back
     
  16. that's annoying, one thing for sure something's been missed and there's still small amount air in system, do you have a good independent dealer you can ask for help, typically id not use Reno dealer
     

  17. Maybe my abs block dies?
     
  18. Hi Matthew,

    It is very unlikely that your problem come from the ABS module or block as you call it.

    It seems like you already changed parts without much success.
    Is the problem start happening after your replaced the clutch/master cylinder or brake calipers?

    Might not be the quickest solution but inspecting properly all brakes calipers to see if any oily residues around the pistons can be seen as every connections, hoses, pipes, in your brake & clutch system will be a good start.

    But as Bosban mentioned, a small amount of air trapped in your system might disappeared with a "quick bleed" but migrate again after few days. A long bleed using a diagnostic computer to open ABS valve individually might be worth the try before a long inspection.
     

  19. I have tried all these ways already !! no smudges anywhere, we have already done everything that can be checked !!
    we bleed system already 8 times and also with abs valve opening by Clip!!
    3 days everything ok and after problem returns
     
  20. One thing could try and worked for me several times is back-bleed system
    Pressurise the bleed screw at calliper and watch bubbles come up in resevoir
    can send link for simple kit for this if needed
     

  21. yes I understand what you are talking about !! so we did too !! the device supplied air through the brake fluid barrels !! I repeat, we expel air from the system and it somehow gets back there after a while
     
  22. SO UPDATE

    I Change ABS Module and the problem is gone
