Brake problems
Hey guys..i changed my brake pads a week ago and after a long track day the brakes feel really weak like no matter how hard i brake my brakes will still not engage to ABS..i asked around if its the worn out pads and i was told its the brake master cylinder failing...but if that was the case then shouldn't it be leakin air or something?? my brake fluid is still clear it doesn't seem to have contaminants..i am kind of freaking out because if it is the master cylinder then my brakes will fail any minute...Any advice would be appreciated...

yah, I think they said your not supposed to bleed to brakes like that at the tech day (not supposed to pump and then hold down)
I will see if I can find anything on it

Now my first question is why did you bleed the brakes in the first place? Did you open one of the brake lines?
When did this problem start? Before or after your track event?

Bleading by pumping or sucking is all the same. Master Cylinder should not be the problem from bleeding the brakes. that does not mean it is not your problem, just that bleading them the way you did could not have damaged it.
