Annoying Brake Pedal


Nigel Coleman

Recommended Posts

My SC430 brakes work just fine (in fact very impressive stopping power) and the brake fluid remains topped up without leaks but the actual foot brake pedal annoyingly travels 3/4 of an inch before starting to work even when the engine is not on?

Has anyone any idea how to correct this?

You possibly have a small amount of air in the brake fluid so worth getting that changed and the system bled.

The pedal itself should only have 1 to 2 mm of travel before any resistance is felt as it starts to engage the master cylinder. If the distance is longer, the pedal can be adjusted but it isn't something that typically changes over time so unless it has been tampered with since the car was built there may be an issue somewhere in the braking system that needs to be investigated.
