got a new car 106, with a rear disc conversion.
its got new pads on the back, weve bled the rear and its all clean fluid coming through with no air coming out.
wve done this to both sides and the brake pedal is still spongey.
do we need to bleed the front brakes? ive been told we dont.
or will it just be the new pads that need wearing in??
thanks in advance

bleed all the brakes bed the brakes in see if its any different? common sense to be honest that.
if it still feels the same it may be because the master cylinder needs a bigger bore? or its gone bust?

maybe is common sense but you dont know the story behind why i ask this.
the car is currently sorn, so we cant drive the car on the road, were changing a few parts on the car, and this is the barrier we have stumbled across.
and was just a simple question of do all the brakes need to bled or just the rear two, and then bed the new pads in simples.

Well it's all one hydraulic system so air in any part of it can/will cause a spongy pedal. Bleed the lot, quick job just to rule it out
