Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Peter ive used semi metallic pads from EuropartsSD (and others) before, never had an issue also had many vehicle and always done my own brakes. I¡¯m not an expert, but I never heard of spongey issues

Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Thanks everyone for ideas so far- Shop re=bled with pressure bleeder & used more volume of fluid this time. Finally able to lock up brakes briefly in panic stop mode, but pedal is still wayyyy

Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Daniel- Not hearing any hissing noises as described in some of the videos, but booster will be on my suspect list if this morning's high-volume bleed does not solve it. Also have seen some references

Brake booster! That¡¯s it! Mine is ¡®95. You can¡¯t just bleed the brakes if you have one, you have to do something else or brakes will be spongy/not be able to do emergency stop... not to mention

Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Droppin bombs-Thanks for the idea and video link.? I wonder if the booster would be "disturbed" by the front brake work and bleed process? All was good til the passenger front caliper stuck. Of

Brake booster?? Not sure about your year... but my 1993 needed one.? Made a lot of difference with braking as well as idling at stop.Replaced Brake Booster ¨C a world of difference ¨C Eurovan

Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Dan- Thanks! I was wondering if there was a special device buried in the system, such as a ¡°pressure regulator¡± you mention, but the online threads of how-to-bleed-your-EVC-brakes for years around

I use a pinch clamp on all flex hoses to see if that improves the pedal feel; if so, remove one at a time to isolate the problem wheel area. works on any vehicle.Glenn Wolfe?93CV

Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
I believe there might be a pressure regulator or something like that inline which requires some special treatment when bleeding breaks. Happened on my 95 EVC. Dan Sent by the tiny personal assistant

Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Thanks Jonathan-The fact that even though only the front brakes were worked on, both front AND rear brakes are now no longer working right really points me toward air in the lines in spite of the shop
By Peter Leinau · #162426 ·
Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Air in the line could cause a mushy pedal, another cause is that something is not quite aligned, like for instance a pad is tipping over slightly, or one piston is slow and so the rotor is bending

Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Hi Jonathan- Just the 2 front rotors and all 4 front pads. Brakes were all fine, then passengers caliper slider pin(s) stuck and the pad/rotor got chewed up- so the front pads & rotors were replaced.

Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
What got replaced exactly? Pads all round and new front rotors or rotors all round?

Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc #evcrepair
Shop just installed new front rotors and pads on our 1997 EVC "Vanpira" & now the pedal is spongy and brakes weak. Can't get a panic stop, can't get ABS to activate except on test run on loose

Hi Sam, Thanks, but no need for a photo.? I'll definitely check out this flex line and do some zip-ties if necessary. Best, Rick

Re: EVC Fresh Water Line Replacement?
Wow, you took the entire set of cabinets out?? If you still have the photos and can share them, I'd love to see them. Thank you for your help!

Re: EVC Fresh Water Line Replacement?
Thanks, Sam! If your lines were frozen and didn't burst or leak, then these lines must be very durable.? I do think that I'll take a look at the clamps or whatever is holding the lines to their
