total brake failure
Enjoying an early morning blast along quiet roads , after some heavy braking i thought the brake pedal felt strange. I assumed it was perhaps the ABS briefly cutting in. After next burst of overtaking , my brake pedal started sinking to the floor.
I decided to pull over and almost ran into a ditch as the pedal hit the bulkhead with very little braking left. A puddle of brake fluid was developing in front of a rear tire. The Porsche dealership explained that my brake pipe had corroded [2003 model] as a result of mud being trapped between the undertray and the body. I have no idea how it got there. So much for my full Porsche dealer service history. Perhaps this is a check that needs done yearly at the same time as extracting the leaves from the radiator/air con air intakes! |
Good Evening,
I am a new member. I have an 01 S Just had my masterbrake cylinder replaced by a top quality mechanic. He doesnt like the fact that when pushing the pedal hard, it slowly travels down. Is this normal? |
It is not normal for the brake pedal to do this. It suggests a leak in the brake system, most likely the master cylinder seals, so I think your mechanic did the right thing by replacing it.
