Question:
S Reg astra Diesel brake pedal is very hard but the car still stop`s with a little bit more pressure on the pedal , here is the work i have done so far ( i am a fully qualified mechanic NVQ Level 3 for 10 year`s )
This is the low blow engine and i have Changed :
Servo
Master Cylinder
Brake disc`s
Brake pad`s
Brake fluid
Caliper`s and slave cylinder`s are not siezed .
Rear shoe`s are ok , drum`s are ok .
Brake pump has plenty of suction when the vacume pipe is removed .
This is the NONE ABS Model .
Renewed the pipe from the servo to the pump .
Everything is as it should be But The pedal still remains Very Hard .
The servo is in working order as it has been tested and there is good pressure when i have bled the brake system ?
ANY Help would be Welcome , Please no suggestion`s about taking it to a "proper" garage , i worked in a vauxhall dealership for 8 years but this has puzzled fitter`s who have over 80 years experience between them .

Have your hoses started to break-up inside? I have seen hoses only a couple of years old that have started to collapse inside and the little tears in the walls of the hoses act like one-way valves, and I have experience of the hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder staying applied to the calipers and cylinders because the hoses won't allow the fluid to return to the master cylinder.By the way, plurals don't need apostrophes (fitters, drums, brakes etc.). An apostrophe denotes the possessive pronoun (the fitter's spanner)

is there a way to adjust the pedal for different pressures to where you apply the brakes according to how hard or soft you touch the brake pedal? and is that car from a different country? Sounds wierd but cool at the same time. Good luck :)Ignition Problems on a VW Polo?

have you tried the turbo in mine (the 1.7tdi) the turbo and the braking system are linked i think by the servo hope its of helppump on the back of the alternator must be at fault,, you've done everything else
