    Still sounds like air in the system, take it back to the garage that did the pipes. Some people on here use an Ezibleed.

    that is only usually necessary if the system has ran low enough to allow air into the ABS pump .

    The front pipes were renewed so lost most of the fluid

    mm never seen the option to bleed brakes on tech2 lol, maybe something along the lines of activate ABS module which would help elimate the air from it?
    Plasma's Tech2 services are now open and able to provide services
