Brake pedal goes up and down when pressed/wobble

[Architex_mA8tey]

sounds a bit like slider bolts. I had a similar issue on the W12 D3 Brakes fitted to my D2 and changing the sliders cured about half of the wobble then getting the discs skimmed on the car cured the rest and theyve been great ever since

Did you like how I guessed correctly them being from euro hehe !!

Where we can we tend to use genuine parts ....yes yes I know the genuine parts can be mega expensive on some things , we have used ecp since 1988 and back in the day the parts used to be pretty good quality , but over the last few year we use them less and less , lots of under handed going’s on .....Chinese copy parts in Bosch boxes ..... guess which batteries come back for warranty issues more than any other ...yes Bosch .....air mass meters , egrs , crank/cam sensors ,abs sensors , starters and alternators ...we have had more trouble with ecp parts than any other ...LUK clutches and dual mass flywheels going faulty after a couple of thousand miles ....it’s ok them saying take it back out and we will
give you a replacement ( which also will go faulty ) some of these clutch jobs are engines out or very labour intensive ....6 , 7 , 8 hour jobs .....yes we can claim the labour back but at THERE labour rate £30 an hour , we are on £60 an hour so we have to stand that as our loss , we have ended up fitting dealer parts to some of our come back clutch jobs and they have been fine since .
Ecps Padgid brakes have gone down hill aswell ....caused alot of friction with some customers (see what I did there ) .

We fitted some of the Brembo stuff to a few range rovers and some of the bigger cars we do , one set warped , a couple of the others customers complaining about brake fade , some of the others seemed happy enough with them .

I could go on and on with issues , at the minute we only use them for Mann filters and Lemforder suspension parts , any other track rod ends and such steer clear of em ( snigger ).

We have been using Ferodo premier brakes for the last year or so and they seem to be pretty good ,we get these through another local factors .



Architex ......there’s an engineering beauty of skimming discs on the car as the skim will allow for any imperfection on the hub aswell .



Did I tell you the one about the 40 foot shipping container pulled in at the docks full to the top with Chinese copy SKF wheel bearings , perfect copy boxes with the hologram sticker .....wonder where they was headed .........

I just returned my Bosch s5 battery to ECPs the other day too. And yes, very impressive Lee that you pinpointed the seller as you did!!!!

[Mechcanico Lee]

Batteries.....we use exide or Varta not had an issue as yet

[tc4332]

See John, was I right or was I right?
Told you Lee was a knowledgeable bunny!!!!
Well spotted Lee, only problem is has John wasted his money or can he reclaim it? But as you said ECP are quick at replacing parts not money.So you fit the replacements and two months down the road you are back again to square one.
Were you not tempted to push that container off the dock?

[Mechcanico Lee]

They will not want to give refunds , Johnmed could ask to exchange the Bosch battery for an exide ??

With brakes it’s difficult to prove whats wrong , faulty parts or incorrect fitment , I would say in most cases about 50 /50 , I’ve seen discs fitted to the most rusted hubs ever .

Ray .....” push the container off the dock “ the pushing will be done by ecp .....pushing them as original equipment parts when they are really ting tong parts made from sub standard materials

[Johnmed]

The battery was exchanged for another. They didn’t even want to see my receipt. I think that’s decent really, seeing as the duff door handles could well have slowly but surely seen that battery off. I’ll be doing the same before the 5 year guarantee expires.

My hubs were in good order and I wire brushed them before fitting the new discs and cleaned the discs thoroughly with brake cleaner etc. I’ve changed discs/pads/shoes before without issue.

If the parts are hooky, then trading standards should really be involved methinks.
