Morning guys,
Got a problem with my brakes, think i know what is causing it but wanted a second opinion.
Two weeks ago - the brakes felt like there where fading, overheating, had to dab the peddal a little more than usual to get the same effect of braking.
I checked the fluid level and it was a little low, topped this up and it made no difference, however - i noticed that my brake fluid resovoir cap is damaged, inside the cap is a white bit of plastic, i think this part creates an air tight seal when you screw the cap on, well its broke, its no longer stuck to the inside of the cap and i fear its not creating an air tight seal.
Can the broken part inside the cap cause pressure to drop when braking meaning i have to press the pedal more?
Also, the fluid level has dropped again a little bit - its sort of mid way between min and max after topping up nearly two weeks ago.
I have checked for leaks, cant see any anywhere, the fluid is clean, the resovoir is clean and from what i can see - nothing has leaked out.
Can someone advise?
Thanks,
Daniel.
