Please help! :eek:
I have 2001. 1.2 8v Punto. When bougt it (2006/10) the brakes were perfect, front wheels blocked on half pedal travel.:)

After changing front discs and pads (2007/01) in service garage, brakes were not the same, not even close. Front weels could not block at all. :confused: (Textar discs and pads)

After that (2007/7) the rear shoes, and handbrake cabels were changed, but the problem was not fiexed. :cry: (Textar rear shoes)

Now (after 24000 miles) I went to another service garage for changing new pads and brake fluid, and it's even worse. When pedal is pressed, the car sometimes brake strong, sometimes brak very, very poor. :bang: (Textar pads and brake fluid)

What the f... is the problem with my brakes?

I decided to do it my self. Bought new discs, pads and brake fluid. Maybe changing manufacturer will help. So I bougt "JC" discs, "Woking" pads and "Delphi" brake fluid. Even got the Haynes service and repair manual. Cleaned the discs and prepared everything for the job.
After all work is done, bled the system. But when tried braking on the road, still the same f... problem. :bang: I tried two man bleeding, gravity bleeding, still nothing. During bleeding, there was no bulbs in brake fluid. The manual says that bleeding procedure is Left-Rear, Right-Front, Right-Rear, Left-Front.

Servo unit is (I think) OK. It's firm when engine is off, and soft when engine is on.

Please help, my car just won't brake :worship::worship::worship:

I'm from Croatia, so if there is anyone in this forum who could help, and from my area, please leave contact info.
