Skoda Octavia brakes question

    My Skoda had a problem with it's brakes at the weekend, got a twisted pipe which burst and leaked all the fluid out. Got the car back home on a flatbed and stuck it into a garage on Monday. Replaced the pipe and bled the system, took it for a spin and pedal was very mushy( previously had been sharp) Brought it back the next day and brakes were bled again, pedal feel better but still quite a bit away from what they were. I checked on the net for soloution but only thing I could find was maybe the ABS module was not bled and this might account for spongy pedal, anyone know? Going to go back on Friday to garage to get it sorted. Any help greatly appreciated :D

    was the entire system bled, starting with the wheel furthest from the Master Cylinder?

    Is another pipe on the way out?
    Possibly leaking seals?

    He sid the entire system was bled but judging by the pedal pressure I don't think so...

    yup, sounds like they didnt bleed the entire system, probably still an airbubble in between the LR wheel and the master cylinder.
