Mate has a 52 plate Focus ST170 and it's using an alarming amount of brake fluid. Had a rummage under the car just now and aprt from a bit of goo on th ebrake pipe I can't see anything too untoward.

Idea's or common problems?

CheeRS

 

I reckon there is a leak somewhere.

 

You fooker, kinda figured that

 

lol, i reckon he should get it checked out asap. clutch slave cylinder is probably whats leaking though. this is in the gearbox on the ST170 iirc soo check for fluid leaking out the bottom of the box.

 

replace clutch pipe from master to slave they always go .....part is 1bout 26 quid i think dont loose the 2 clips ...bit of a bugger to rebleed just take your time

 

Yeah i would have suggested the clutch master cylinder. Not hear of any problems with them, but if the fluid isnt being lost from the brakes then could be the clutch cylinder

 

Thanks people

 

ITS THE PIPE.....................

 

Agree mate the union splits on the end of the pipe sale loads of them

 

yep, i had the same prob with the wifes a while back,took me ages to find where it was all going

 

THANKS FOR THE BACK UP DOO

 

Worth noting and keeping an eye on brake fluid then

 

yeah thats right, first one i done i took the box out as i assumed it was the slave, only it weren't
