why does my Porsche 911 992 (2019-Present) brake pedal feel spongy

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and secure with wheel chocks.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues.

2. Inspect and Replace Brake Fluid

• Locate the brake fluid reservoir.
• Use a turkey baster or suction tool to remove old brake fluid.
• Refill with the recommended brake fluid (Porsche DOT 4 or equivalent).
• Check for signs of contamination in the fluid.

3. Bleed the Brake Lines

• Reconnect the battery.
• Start at the furthest brake caliper from the master cylinder (usually the passenger side rear).
• Use a brake bleeder kit to open the bleeder valve.
• Have an assistant press the brake pedal down and hold it while you open the valve.
• Close the valve before the assistant releases the pedal to avoid air intake.
• Repeat until clear brake fluid with no air bubbles flows from the bleeder.
• Move to the passenger side front, driver side rear, and finally the driver side front calipers, repeating the process.

4. Inspect Brake Components

• Remove the wheel to access brake calipers and pads.
• Inspect brake pads for uneven wear; replace if the thickness is below the minimum specification.
• Check rotors for scoring or warping; replace if necessary.
• Reinstall the wheel and torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications.
