Guest steelcabby Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 check the caliper hasn't come loose and fallen off one bolt. or maybe a pad has gone. its wierd how thats happened. i would get your wheel off a.s.a.p. also check for any patches of fluid on any corners of the wheels. a cylinder could of gone. i had my driver brake caliper come half off on my mk4 cabby. lost all breaks, was a scary moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest markeyboy Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 is it a pedal hit the floor moment or just gone hard and dont do nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rambo Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 take the front calipers, pads and discs off and replace them to make sure they are on properly, then check brake hoses, there are 2 parts, a rubber part that attatches to the caliper and a copper pipe that carries on the system, if you dont find nothing and brakes still fail check the pedal box for brakes.

Guest shorty Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 found out what was wrong its got 2 split brake hoses so i now know why it werent holding the fluid and all the brakes need adjusting so hopefully il have working brakes by the end of the day. only down side about taking it to a garage is they also told me i nedd 3 new tyres damn them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steelcabby Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 as i have already said this before the reply went missing yet again.........???? glad you got it all sorted mate, brakes are very dangerous things, yet we rely on them and expect them to work whenever you hit the throttle....
