Hi Forum
I have a Nissan NV300 van which was registered in March 2017. I am experiencing a spongy pedal when the engine is started, and the break pressed. The van some months ago needed rear disks so I replaced these along with pads all round. A recent MOT highlighted that the front discs now required replacing. Prior to replacing the discs, I noticed that the brake pedal was spongy. i changed the discs and tried the brakes and the pedal was still spongy. I know I don't have any leaks on the system so opted for changing the master cylinder. Unfortunately, due to no new master cylinders being available in Europe, I purchased a second hand one. I have bled the brakes all round and have a firm pedal without vacuum however when I start the engine with my foot on the pedal the pedal slowly sinks to the floor. Could this be a vacuum diaphragm or maybe I have another faulty master cylinder. This van has already had a replacement master cylinder under warranty about a year ago. I look forward to hearing from you experts.
