[Brakes] No pedal after pad replaceament

[s2a1rflow]

I've just replaced the front brake pads on my 2013 Multispace but didn't bleed either caliper before retracting the pistons. I've got a pedal with the engine off,but with the engine running the brake pedal gradually goes to the floor.Any ideas what I might have damaged & is it a home fix? I've done the same with other vehicles which have had ABS & I'll read the manual next time before starting a job!! Thanks in anticipation.

Could be you've shifted some muck or a seal in the master cylinder when the fluid was pushed back into the reservoir- might be worth carrying out a brake bleed.

About to do just that in the morning,thanks.

I'm guessing the car has a diesel engine? . . .  if so read this...

JJ9 got there before me, it may be simply diesel brake pedal creep!
