Whats wrong with my breaks??

Post by bennyboy200 »

Hi,

My breaks seem to work fine. they screach a little but seem quite sharp.

But when i brake the pedal dosent come straight up it comes up very slowley. So when i just tap the break down it is still breaking for about a second after i lift off.

Any idea why this could be? its a V6 3.0 with brembos

Could be the master cylinder, fluid getting past the seals on the piston.
