hi guys need help

lost brake pressure on my 3dr the other day on way to work it's running a pinto with non abs,bleed all brakes no change, can anyone suggest any help

thank you

 

can anyone help fairly urgent

 

When you say you have lost brake pressure do you mean the pedal is going to the floor (fluid leak or air in system) or the pedal is hard to press (lack of servo assistance)?

 

thank you for replying

yeah the pedal is going to the floor where as before it was alot higher and the brake fluid tank was empty , we have bleed all brake but only made very slight difference could it be master cylinder or servo

thanks for any help

 

so it goes all the way to the bottom and you have lost fluid???


check all the calipers for a leak

check all the joints as these might have a leak, or signs of a leak

 

no sign of leaks at all had it up on ramp thats y im lost

 

servo's probabaly failed.

 

as above the fluid most probably is inside the servo!

 

so have you lost fluid from the resovour

 

yes initially but stay at same level now

 

servo gone mate

 

best place to get one

 

Ive phoned round and manage to get one from a spares place mate

 

cheers for all help

 

it may be that the m/c is leaking inside the servo
make sure you check it all out because if it's the m/c you'll be needing another servo in a few hours time

 

if you pump the pedal with the car not running, hold it when it goes hard, start the car, the pedal should drop slightly as teh servo works.

if it doesn't your servo is screwed.

pedal creeping to the floor is signs the master cylinder has gone.
