A flush of the brake fluid is essetial as routine maintance every 3 years, but air will rarely form in the lines unless you ran your master cylinder dry or you opened part of the system. Is it hard to push the pedal? or is the pedal very spongy? Let me know exactly how and what you bled and I will be able to help you out.
Thanks for the response! Basically, when I replaced the brakes, I couldnt get the piston pushed down, to fit over the new brake pads. So I removed the piston, and removed the brake fluid from inside. Then I placed the piston back inside, and put the screw back into the caliper. So when the car is off, it will build up pressure (from absolutely no pressure initially) when I pump the brakes. If I stop pumping the it looses all pressure again. When the car is on, no pressure can be felt. I can easily pump it back and forth. Hope thats enough info!
thanks! aslocal
