Hi gang, what's up? Don't know if you can help me..i recently had my rotors and pads changed. The car does brake okay, but probably not as good as when i had the stock equipment. I came across this check-list on brake testing...does this make sense for a test?
Functional test
1. with engine stopped,depress the pedal hard and hold that pressure for 15 seconds.If the pedal sinks,the master cylinder,brake line or a caliper is faulty.
2.start the engine with the pedal depressed.If the pedal sinks slightly,the vacuum booster is working.If the pedal height does not vary,the booster or check valve is faulty.
I treid this out, i did it twice... both times i noticed when holding the pedal down that it was slowly sinking and when i turned the key to the "on" position the pedal dropped (almost to the ground). On the second time though, when releasing pedal, i heard an air, "wooshing"sound all the way until the pedal came back up...can this mean anything?? thanks
