Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction here.
All of a sudden, my brake pedal starts getting lower and lower while I was driving my gf to work, and by the time I got back home, I almost had no more brake left! I mean, I could probably "push" the pedal with two fingers all the way to the end.
Also, If I "pump" my brakes 2 or 3 times, and don't let it release too long, the pedal is back to normal. but as soon as I release it, (or, stop using the brake pedal for maybe 5 seconds, then it's back where there's no resistence in the pedal.).
Prior to this, I did had brake(or caliper) noises coming from the front, but the car would stop on a dime, and I had plan to change pads/ grease the calipers this summer..
Where would you guys start? bleeding? checking vacuum lines?
Any info on steps to be taken would be nice,
thank you very much!
