   Hi all I have just upgraded the front brakes to 283mm gti6 setup So I replaced the calipers discs pads and master. After all was fitted I bled the system and all seemed fine until I was driving doin the road and the peddle went Ann the way to the floor and the car was bareley stoping the took my foot of the brake then tried again and they were fine. So I had an ask about and come to the conlusion that they might need bleeding again so went a blead them again tried them out and the same was happening can anyone shed any light on this ?
   
   Thanx mike

    Sounded like the pads just needed moving towards the discs? Like whenever you have to push the piston out after fitting new parts.
    
    As long as it's fine now.
