[QUOTE="Glenn_03Cobra, post: 7205684, member: 66380"] Gave up and took it to the dealer today. They hooked it up to their equipment and a laptop to activate the ABS to bleed it. The tech said he found that the ACU had air in it. What was interesting was, after they finished, I had stong pedal, when car was off but still a very soft pedal, when running. When I got home (after driving around town for awhile) I pumped the brakes a few times, hard. When done, the pedal came-up and finally wasn't soft... I think it should be harder but, it's much better than when I left the dealer. I also have a strange squeek or high-pitch blow-by sound, when I hit the brakes hard. I compared to another Cobra setup and it was quiet (except for the p/s). I find it strange that after pumping it hard, I have more pedal consistently, when before pumping it hard, there was no pedel for the top 60% or so then it was soft; only the bottom 10% seemed to have bite on the brakes. What did I do that the dealer wasn't able to do. I'm a bit leary that they thought the brakes were ok, when I left. This dealership has always done good work for me, when my service writer is controlling the work. This time, IMO they dropped the ball. We'll see what they say, when I go back in tomorrow! [/QUOTE]
