ABS working or not wont make the brakes work any better with normal presure,all that dose is maybe if/when you stamp on them and lock any of the wheels up you should stop fairly saftlyTehAgent wrote:Got in the car this morning, and she fired strait up, it didn't hic up or complain about it or anything, so now know that air was getting in through that injector hose,
Brakes are now very sharp because the ABS is working correctly, and the power steering doesn't feel heavy no more, also the car raised almost as soon as the engine was running, took about 20 seconds to get to the correct height.
Was a fun day, even with the rain lol (funniest part of the day by my reckoning )

Would the better hydrolics be down to the aux belt now being easier to turn with a working a/c pulley?
Before with the a/c pulley bearing failing, it'd put more strain on the belt.

I don't think so because as long as the accumulator has some charge in it and the pump is pumping a bit, the brakes will be fully operational. In fact, of all the hydraulics, the brakes are the lightest load and can still work when hydraulic pressure is well down.Xac wrote:Would the better hydrolics be down to the aux belt now being easier to turn with a working a/c pulley?

On the old sinking models with the Flow Distribution Valve, the power steering was the hungriest, followed by the suspension and then the brakes. It was arranged that power steering would die first in the event of hydraulic pressure loss and the brakes last. The suspension could sink but braking would remain available whilst a smidgen of pressure remained.
I reckon it's because the new pads fitted have now nicely bedded down and the fact that everything is now working nicely just gives you a feeling that all is better. The "clean car" effect. Clean cars always go better than dirty ones
