No brakes when engine runing

[westoncraig]

just dont drive it until your happy with it! of if you have to test it just roll it slowly dont want you smashing it up

yer il bare that in mind, its bad enough knowing my car is stuck in a garage let alone if that was to happen

 

[JBY001]

if there was air in the brakes then wouldnt i still be able to pump the pedal when the engine is running and it go hard!

 

[Willie]

Yup it would but it would take a few pumps where if there wasn't air the pedal would only move a few inches

 

[JBY001]

you can pump the pedal as much as you want and it just hit the floor with the engine running.

 

[Willie]

Have you checked that one of the bleed nipples aren't loose and leaking

 

[JBY001]

i asume so i dint see any leaks will check tommorow tho. just a bit more info inf it will help all brake hoses where clamped one by one untill all the brakes where cut off. the end result was that once again engine off pedal is hard in two -three pumps and engine on foot to the floor every time!

 

[Willie]

Not sounding too good there mate
I'm confused by the pedal going to the floor only when engine is on but I'm not too clued up on the hydraulic schematics for the brake system.
Hopefully your garage will be able to sort all your problems
