Brake pedal went hard = brown trouser moment!!!

[litchy]

Not good......

 

[Chris]

What went wrong??

 

[litchy]

I have no idea, I'll have a look in the daylight but nursed it home as there is no servo....

 

[Deaks]

On track or just on a casual drive?

 

[Foxspeed]

check the "quick" release fittings on the servo pipes - theres been a few faulty ones reported on here - think there same for 197 & megane

 

[litchy]

Can see anything 'wrong' so trip to mechanic tmw.....

Is the brake pedal hard all the time or just the once ?

All the time.....

 

[litchy]

Appears to be the servo....

 

[Foxspeed]

unlucky not a part that fails that often

Agree. Can't find any reference to someone having done one on here....

 

[Legend@wheels]

Sounds like it can make a disaster on the roads,hope its not common

 

[litchy]

Only blessing is happened as I was just going to set off from petrol station. Could have been a disaster if happened 10 mins earlier.

any idea if the servo is a standard unit out of all Clio 3's?

**** this is nasty indeed, hopefully no drama. I really don't want to think what would have happened on a spirited driving...let us know what the problem is Wilson.

 

[Pav]

glad you didnt find out the hard way..fingers crossed mate

 

[Jimmy]

Sorry to hear about this. As you say, very glad it didn't happen at a worse moment... Hopefully you get it sorted soon.

 

[Yiannis197]

So the problem was??

 

[leeboy]

Have you got the cat ceramic coated? A reason why mine is done as you can melt the pipes to/from the servo with the heat coming off the cat.

 

[Legend@wheels]

Can u send pic of what u talking about lee?

 

[leeboy]

Unfortunately you can't really see much, but the cat pretty much sits under the brake master and the heat that coming off the cat can melt the pipes.
