Brake retrofit, soft pedal, should I code?

mezzoo · 01-20-2022, 06:13 PM

Hi.
I can find lots of info about M performance brake coding, but I'm from Europe and I just upgraded my brakes from stock 312/300 to 340(gray brembo)/330(bosch) and have very soft pedal. Feels not very good. Should I code anything? Like "SPBR", or anything elase that would improve brake pedal feel?
Thank you for any help.

P.s: retrofit was not done at dealer so no coding was done

I've upgraded my brakes recently and had similar mushy brake feel. I took it to a shop where the bled the system and supposedly reset the ABS system. Try that.

Try SBPR.

If it doesn’t satisfy you, revert to original and try the ABS bleeding.

Did this and coding isn’t the issue, you still have air in the lines.

I used a power Suction bleeder, not a pressurize the master type bleeder, and that resolved it.
