So ive seen your answer to something similar in the youtube channel, however ive also been to a few mechanics over here who confuse me , i have a mazda 3 2008 Active 1.6 automatic/tiptronic trans, with a 237k kilometerage , i explained my issue to the mechanics they made an obd scan and no warnings were shown , they took it to a test drive upon returning decided its the abs pump or the whole abs system needs changing , when i asked if it could be the master cylinder they said nope , mazda 3 has a well known sickness with the abs pump change that ,
Some details : i have bled the brake fluid and changed it on all four wheels completely new german dot5 fluid , changed the brake pads , calipers and disks , pistons all look fine . It only helped a bit but after awhile the spongy feeling came back as if its losing pressure and pedal sinks quite further than id like again but this time not all the way just almost.
Any chance to shed some light on this , i want to understand if i should order a master cylinder or an entire abs system , in my country both are 3x times more expansive than in EBAY.
Thank you for your time.
Well I would put a scan tool on it myself and test the ABS system look for ABS codes and stuff like that and pray it's simply a brake master cylinder wearing out which it off and just is
Thank you for the response , as per your suggestion today i have used a chinese obd2 scanner for warnings using torque , nothing came up , so i guess my best option is to order the master cylinder switch it off and hope for the best.
If the pedal sinks and there are no leaks in the system (no wet lines or puddles of fluid) then it almost certainly the master cylinder.
listen to this guy
Not every problem can be found with scanning. I would consider a new brake master cylinder.
Yes i guess it depends on the assumption that all the sensors are functioning .
