Hi everyone im gana pick everyone brains again lol. Ive just taken the 2.6 v6 out for a spin just to check the tracking etc, went to press the brake and it feels spongy compared to my 2.2 dti omega it dont feel like air spongy if you know what I mean. Is that normal, front pads are fine and dics also there no leaks and fluid if fine is it just because im use to the 2.2 dti breaking system??

When was the fluid last changed? Ideally should be every couple of years

Also being an auto, it will take a bit more braking unless you knock it into neutral, whereas significant braking in tge diesel will invariably involve pressing the clutch at some point in the braking process
