I'm not really sure how to go about this, so I'll tell you a story.. me and my brother both have a Cinquencento Sporting.. his went into this garage the other month for it's MOT.. had some work done.. came out fine.. then about a week later his brakes just went, got gradually worse..
Mine went into the same garage some weeks later for a list of things to be done.. came out fine.. and the same braking thing has happened.. they gradually got worse.. with their being no response from the pedal until it hit the floor, it feels as though only the rear brakes are working. I've gone through the Haynes and suspect its something to do with the servo or hydraulics.. but I don't really know anything other than how to drive a car..
One last thing I forgot.. when my brother took his in with this problem, to this garage they told him it was a writeoff and would could £350 to fix? My dad took it to another garage this week.. we're still waiting to hear from them?
I don't really know how else to explain this, but if anybody has any idea what this could be? even if it is just a coincidence? The brakes do work, almost like normal once you've given them a little more pressure than usual..
Ta guys..
