E30 Zone

I have fitted my replacement clio servo and this one doesn't clunk, so all is well with the world again.

But I fitted a spacer into the master cylinder which was about 15mm in length. This resulted in me only having about 50% pedal travel before the pedal would go no further. I also really had to push the master cylinder onto the studs on the servo.

So today I removed the master cylinder and took out the spacer and then fitted the m/c back. It still had to be pushed firmly for the last 10mm when it was on the threads. I now have full pedal travel and there is no apparent delay in hearing the servo being pushed when i press the brake pedal.

So really I'm asking is the spacer always necessary?

I will be bleeding the system tomorrow and the turd will go and stop for the first time.

You must have a different servo

How far into the servo does the pushrod lie?
On the standard E30 servo,the pushrod just pokes out.

Are you using standard e30 m/c ?

using E30 m/c.

The servo pushrod seems to stick out further on this servo compared to the other one I had. I'm confident it is OK.

Just started bleeding the brakes and the heavens have opened, grrrrr. I'm not lying in a puddle on the driveway bleeding brakes, no no
