What could be the problem with my Brakes (2000 Starex (4X4))?

Background: I bought the Starex while it was in a shop where it had been undergoing extensive repairs for several months. The brakes shoes and pads had been replaced as part of these repairs. The brakes are not ABS (per. EDSA Hyundai) Not the shop in question.





When I test drove the van, I noticed that the brakes required a greater distance than normal to come to a complete stop. And that more brake peddle pressure than normal was required.





After having the brakes cleaned did not improve the braking, the head technician assured me that the hydro vacuum unit was not working. I had it replaced, But, it had no effect.


The master brake cylinder was then rebuilt. When this had no effect, It also was replaced. This as well, did not improve the braking performance.





I was charged PHP 16,000 for parts plus more for labor and the problem was not resolved. Needless to say, I have no confidence that this shop (Wind Tech, Legazpi City) has any idea how to correct the problem.

I dont know of that van or your language but I can tell you the friction material is crucial, meaning the pads. I would have said they pushed the calipers back without opening the bleeder but obviously, it's been flushed out with the hydro and master being replaced. This may sound dumb but I have seen it many times, you might want to get a set of dealer pads and trying them out, seems you have wasted money on alot of other things, that if you were me, I would be getting a full refund for parts and labor for misdiagnosing it. I would go back and demand a full refund on everything you had done there.
