Jaguar X Type 2.0D 2004 - Spongy brake pedal - Fixed #Archived Message
Posted by Fiachra Purcell on May 24, 2010, 12:52 pm
Hi all. I have an X Type that has failed the test for spongy brakes. The pedal sinks when you hold pressure on it. I have bled the brakes with a pressure bleeder with no change. I have clamped off the flexi hoses with a slight improvement but still not great. I have been reading on the Jaguar forums that the brakes do feel spongy on RHD x types but am wondering if what I have is really a problem or just the way they are. The brakes feel OK when driving but will sink (slowly) if you keep pressing hard. Any views would be grayefully received as I dont have much experience with these Jag's. PS Is it the same brake system as the Mondeo?
