Guys is there a way to disable or bypass the abs system on my willy3 ?
im almost at the point of banging my head of the wall with my brakes
it all started ages ago just after i bought the car.
basicially what happens is this:
if i press my brake pedal it does right to the floor with very little effort and the brakes dont really apply, it only slows the car very gently, if i press the pedal to the floor then release it and press it again immediately i get brakes that are excellent, ie first press of the pedal nothing really happens, but on second press brakes are like amazingly good.
ive bled the brakes, this seems to cure the problem for a few days or maby a week before if starts being silly again, ive completely drained the brake fluid and replaced it with new stuff, same thing happens, temporary fix only, ive replaced my master cylinder with a new one, still the same thing, im NOT loosing fluid anywhere, no leaks anywhere, ive clamped all the flexi lines to check the new master cylinder but it seems ok, ive stripped all the callibre`s and freed them all up, this hasnt helped either.. im simply lost as to what is causing this..
all bleed nipples are tight, but could the brake system be drawing air through the threads of the brake nipples, should i remove them and copper thread grease them?
Having said this the pedal does NOT feel spongie like it would if there was air in the system which is a contradiction because if i bleed the system it temporarly cures the prob lol
would the equaliser valve on the rear of the car being set wrong cause this prob? should i re-adjust the equaliser valve? im asking this because the car was lowered when i got it and i havnt checked if the valve was set to suit the lowering...
also ive fitted all new brake pads all round on the car too..
please help its driving me nuts here :(
any ideas are much appreciated.. and a big thankyou in advance for any suggestions or ideas
