Already change a new Bendix pad, change the rubber as well because there is sign of leaking. And, i even change the pump today found the pump is leaking too.

My brake is powerful, i test power just now, at 80km/h brake hard, can see smoke everywhere. This isn't the problem.

The problem I'm facing is, even when I'm driving slow like 60 km/h or 40 km/h only, on 3rd gear or free gear, when I step on the brake (first time), is like the brake doesn't work, is like only air (I have to step until max to brake the car, if I don't release the pedal), then immediately I release the pedal and step again (2nd time) this time makan. But if I'm going fast surely dangerous sial.

What should I do? The only thing I haven't try is to ask my mech to adjust, so that when I step the pedal abit, the brake makan max.

try bleeding ur brake hose... let go all the air within the hose.

check ur brake reservoir if there's enough brake fluid. Make sure the brake fluid u using are the correct one.

Hmm, the mech did that twice, keep pumping and then step hold the pedal, then pump then hold then pump then hold, is that what you called bleeding?

Yea, brake fluid is FULL, using Dot 3 fluid. rolleyes.gif
