The light was on so I decided to buy some Dot 4 and refill. After refilling I realized the brake never improved much and found the hose line to the back tyres burst. I brought it to be repaired in butterworth the next day and since then I realized the braking feeling has never been as good as it was. Now I have to press the brakes even further and yet the braking efficiency is not quite there yet. If I pump the brake the 2-3 times it gets back to the point I used to enjoy.What is the cause of this?? Is it because the air trapped in the line not fully released? Or it just needs soem time before getting back to normal? It has been a week since I repaired the brake and I don't think it is time dependant.Do I need to release the trapped air again???Normally for any other E39 when you repair the brake, it should get back to the original braking feeling right instead of such lowered end brake??Please advise before I bring it to my mech in KL.Thanks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
