phat larry New Member 5 Member For: 14y 9m 7d Posted 14/11/20 05:13 AM Share Posted 14/11/20 05:13 AM So long story short I bought a g6et and previous owner gave me a decent deal on xyz brakes fitted. but once he installed them and bleed the front and rear with new fluid, started getting spongy brake pedal. He replaced the master cylinder but that did not help and he got super busy and I had to get it towed on Friday from qld to nsw. Have now got it in my garage finally, so figuring it out if I should replace the booster or try rebleed it myself and see if that was the issue Was told it was braking fine with the stock brakes before upgrading to these. no error codes showing on the torque app. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96040-spongy-brakes-after-upgrading-to-xyz/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used it but it's free to download and could be something to look at. You need a tactrix or similar to connect to your obd port. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96040-spongy-brakes-after-upgrading-to-xyz/#findComment-1700398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
