On my dads 2003 130 passat the car seems to be having excessive brake travel. He took it into a VW dealership recently and they advised a complete set of brake pads and disks as they were worn. Now as far as im aware brake discs and pads will not cause travel on the brake peddle as they are servo assisted. I know on my 1998 tdi passat when the rear pads went the brakes still felt fine (although destroyed my discs :P).
A couple of things that we thought it could be is
An issue with the master cylinder
or
An issue with a pump that sits behind the engine to do with the brakes(i cant remeber what this is called).
I think my dad ruled out the issue with bleeding the brakes.
The car has done about 20000 miles
Anyone else had problems like this?
