Title: Hi, new member old problem!
Post by Parazine on 03. Mar 2008 at 21:08

Hi all,

Hopefully someone here can help!

I've owned my 1999 2.5TD Estate for 6 years and it's now covered 138,000 miles. Today it failed the MoT because the brake pedal slowly decends to the floor when pushed hard with the engine running. The same test performed with the engine switched off results in a solid pedal.
The MoT guy said "could be air bubbles - try bleeding" and "if it's not that , it's the ABS control unit = expensive".
I remember this as being the symptom of a faulty master cylinder - anyone else have any ideas?
If it's the ABS controller, the cars dead - it needs a new slush box as well!

Parazine

Welcome :)

I had similar issue with my car (a 2.5TD oddly enough as well, though thats irrelevent). Just needed proper bleeding.
