Where's the anchor!? (brake problem)

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

My brakes are giving me a real nightmare at the moment. :mad:

They've been a recurrent problem since I bought my Corrado.

I had to replace all four calipers within 2 months of buying the car (all bleed nipples were seized solid.) :(

Then I needed a new master cylinder. :(

Then, one of the four new calipers developed a leak. So I bought a seal kit for this. 2 months later the same thing happened again, so I bought another caliper.

Finally the flexi hose from the reservoir to the master cylinder perished. :(

 

Anyway, the problem now is air getting into the system somewhere. I'm having to bleed the brakes every month. They stay solid for a week or two, then start to become spongy again.

When I pump the pedal a squeeking noise comes from the rear of the car. Could this be the brake compensation valve at the back that adjusts braking when the car is carrying load? :?:

If so, could someone get me the part number for this and whether it's difficult to replace DIY?

 

Cheers
