Brake "spongy" feeling

[Yeobh]

There are many types of brake fluid testers, some mech use litmus like paper strips to do PH testing, some use them for testing copper particles but most testers are designed for testing % of water.

The most advance tester actually boil the brake fluid with a heating element. Other use electronic to calculate the water %

Brake Fluid Tester .

" A simple tool for testing the percentage of water in brake fluid essential for regular safety checks on your brakes.

Colour coded LEDs show level of water.

Green: Battery OK - No water found.

Yellow: Less than 1% water - No action necessary.

Yellow/Yellow: 2% Water found - Check regularly.

Yellow/Yellow/Red: 3% Water found - Change brake fluid.

Yellow/Yellow/Red/Red: 4% Water found - Brake Fluid should be changed immediately.

Er ....... it don't work like that one.  Green only means power up.

You should at least see 1 yellow ...... 2 yellow say OK wor.

And the usual Red means Love, Blood, Red Cross, Red Lantern or Danger, ya..

If your mechanics is still using the "1950s leg-power" way of bleeding your hydraulic brake sytem, the chances of getting rid of all the air bubbles in the system is very slim for this generation of cars.

The best way is to use pressure bleeding and the next alternative is to use vacuum bleeding.

 

Ps attached is a vaccum bleeder with a automatic brake fluid refiller.

Which workshop uses the vacuum method?

Hearsay that nowadays for newer cars with all the electronics braking, it is not as simple as bleeding via vaccum/pedal depression. It requires some machine calibration. True?
