Guys, when I press the brake, the pedal travels about a quarter of the way free before it engages. Normally in another car, if you press just a little the brake grips instantly. In mine the pedal goes a quarter of the way free and then it grips. Brake pads, discs, brake vacuum pump, hydraulics, all of it has been replaced, the brake is still weak, but I can feel that it's weak, what do you think could be causing this

1 repliesDid a general mechanic do the brakes or a brake specialist? Some general mechanics can't adjust things properly, air can get trapped, or there could be a fault-related cause. In the situation you're describing, if it's due to a fault, it's most likely leaking brake fluid. If the brake fluid isn't dropping, then it's an adjustment/maintenance issue — take it to a proper brake specialist, general mechanics might not be able to handle it. Also, after a car's brakes are done, once some time passes (like a week), you're supposed to go back for another check/adjustment — that's what they told me when I had my brake booster replaced.
