tell me this aint right

[bobbleheadbarney]

I know little about cars and my brake peddal while stationary goes all the way to the floor this takes approx 30 to 40 seconds to do this i took it back to where i bought it and the guy said this is fine i know its not but what could it be????? so i can go back to him and tell him to fix it cheers all

P.S i cant see a leak any where and not loosing fluid

[shane31]

Its either a leak in the pipes or flexi's.. Or worst case it could be the master cylinder and the only way to check that is to either see if the bottom of the servo is damp or unbolt the master cylinder and look at the back of it.. Cant think of anything else.. Maybe some one else has some other idea's.. Good luck in getting it sorted..

Its normal if its a diesel

If its a diesel its prob be diesel creep

[macdad]

Sit in the car with foot on the brake pedal and apply some pressure to the pedal,start the engine and if the servo is ok the pedal should rise slightly when there is pressure from manifold into the servo ,if not its a sure sign the seals on the servo are cream crackered.

06 CDTi, as Lee says mate its diesel creep and quite normal.

Mine does the same (06 Signum 1.9 CDTI 16V), always has done in the two years I've had it. Never experienced this with any other cars I've owned but in practice the brakes on the Signum are the best of any car I've owned. If your brakes work fine when you're driving, don't worry any more about it - it must be normal for these cars.

hello yer it's 1.9 cdti 06 guys but wow never thought this could be the case what is diesel creep please and if im on a hill that could be dangerous as i say if i put normal pressure on the peddal it sinks to the floor then i go rolling backwards had vauxhall before never had this i thought it would trap the prassure spoke to vauxhall they said no peddals should sink so lost now what do i do i have the car in he garage i bought it from looking for this faul why they not said this is normal??? soooooooo confused

Really? My 06 CDTi doesn't do this. The brakes stop the car rapidly with barely any pressure, and I can sit will full pressure on the pedal for an age while stationary and the pedal only goes so far down

It's your brakes m8 if it's causing you concern get it checked out for piece of mind. Can't say I disagree with the others though.
