Far/deep and spongy brake pedal after brake line job and full bleed

[mz3bo]

Hi,

A few days ago while I was driving the car, the brake fluid warning came on and my reservoir was empty. I refilled the reservoir and realized that there was a leak on the line.

So this morning, I have redone all the brake brake line under the driver side as one of them was leaking. Once the job done, I proceed to bleeding the system with my Motive bleeder. Started with the pass/rear, drv/rear, pass/front and ended with driver/front. Made sure that the was no air bubble and closed everything (i let about 0.5L of fluid out to make sure that was no air or anything like that). During the process of bleeding each corner, I have the brake pedal fully depressed to the floor and a piece of wood was holding it in place. I never release the pedal until I was done closing the last nipple.

Now, here is the problem. When I hit the brake, the bite only happens at the end of the travel of the pedal. The first few inchs did nothing and you can barely feel any backpressure. I drove 20 miles and still the same thing.

No leak, nothing. I forget to mention that when I was beelding with the motive, the gauge was bad and only at the end, found out I used 25Psi pressure (don't know if that could have damaged anyhting).

Any help would be really appreciated.
