Dear all,

I am driving an SLK 350. The brakes were soft and spongy so I tried bleeding the brakes, but the problem was still there.

Therefore, I changed my brakes to those of SLK 55 AMG.

To my dismay, the brakes are still soft and spongy.

Please help.

Any suggestions/comments will be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Jon

 

New pads might feel soft until they have seated. If you still have a "spongey" pedal,, you probably still have air in the lines.

Check to insure you are following the specified procedure.

Sometimes the procedure will be

Always bleed the brakes from the furthest from the master cylinder to the closest.

 

Resolving this problem may also require that the ABS pump be energized to purge that loop or air and contaminated fluid.
