Brake pedal pressure loss

Recommended Posts

Ok, driving back from wales yesterday, lost all pressure in the brake pedal. I had to press the pedal down to the very bottom for anything to happen. If i pumped the brakes the pressure would come back slightly. Then say 20mins later, the pressure would be back to normal.

 

Been told its likely to be a leak in the brake lines, is this true?

Tell ya what, didnt half scare the crap outta me though doing some speed on the motorway, only to press the brakes to find nothing happened!

The other thing is you could have got a sticky caliper and at speed the fluid in that line boiled... you need to find the problem asap tho and do not drive it until sorted!

I drove it to work today and it seemed ok again. Seems to only be at high speeds. Im off to see the missus at Hull at the weekend (180 mile round trip), so i think i need to get it looked at!
