    D2 brake question

    My d2 has, ever since I've had it, needed a quick pump on the brake pedal to bring the pedal up to get firm braking. It stops without this, but it feels 'off'. When a local indie did the head gasket I mentioned this, and he said it was normal, and his own car did it.
    It's not air. it feels like excessive disk brake runout, and I can't see it being "normal". I'd forgotten about it as the car has been off the road for years, but now it's time to get it roadworthy and I don't see it passing the check.
    My feeling is the wheel bearings are worn on the front, causing runout, but what does the brain's trust think? I believe that the wheel bearings are serviced as an assembly, and are of course not cheap. Car has done 310,000. Who knows if the PO changed them?

    Mine was similar. I replaced the brake hoses with stainless steel braided, Teflon lined ones.

    I think the soft pedal is normal, they do stop better than the D1's that had a brick wall for a pedal.

    FMine doesn’t do that.
    I pressure bleed and flush old fluid about every 2 years and exercise the hill descent every couple of months.
    I have some stainless hoses on order and have hopefully arrived when I get home next week, but even with 18 year old lines it is fine.
    I have new front discs, and front bearings but if the. Bearings are crook you will get ABS three amigos.
    My pads ar e also TRW so are soft and have plenty of meat.
    regards PhilipA

    Had the same problem with my TD5 and found that when i did the de EGR'd it created the brake pedal double pump low pedal issue. I blanked the main vacuum line at the take off, instead of at the solenoid, which corrected it

    D2 brake question

    D2 brakes are like that.... braided brake lines, regular fluid changes, manual bleed and then finish off with the workshop power bleed procedure, plus the absolute best quality disc pads that you can afford, and these will all contribute to diminish the problem to a point that you will be almost no longer aware of it D2 brake question
