Brakes go POP !!! ... loss of all braking..!! Problem
« on: 07 December 2005, 07:38 »
Ok then, came upto some traffic lights a few days ago and i put my foot on the brake as you would do, there was some pressure and then i heard a "pop" noise and then lose all pressure from the system and the pedal just now feels super squishy and brakes do not work at all really and i cant drive car now.

Me and a mate think it is a brake pipe that has just popped off or something....(i cant f'ing look in the evening at the mo as when i get back it is dark so going to have to wait till saturday)

Does anyone else have any posible ideas what it could possibly be ???

Thanks

Most likely to be a flexible hose to a brake caliper or rear beam thats gone like you say, check the master cylinder as well.

Look for brake fluid on the floor, then follow it...  :laugh:

Worked for me when one of my coolant hoses split, up all 3 floors of the work carpark :grin:
