Brake pedal spongy- air in system?
Just replaced the front brake pads on my 116 and when I went to pump the pedal to push the pistons against the new pads I wasn't feeling much resitance- then realised I'd left the cap for the master cylinder slightly open- now the pedal is spongy- does this sound like air in the system? And will I need to bleed the whole system? The discs are quite worn and will need replacing shortly, so I was thinking maybe the pads weren't quite bedding against them properly?
When I reversed out of my parking bay I had to use the handbrake to stop the car as I had hardly any power- then I took it for a short road test and it slowly started to feel more normal, but still too much travel for my liking.
