About two weeks ago I want to start the car, and there was no break pressure, unless pumped.
Been driving around for a while with this problem, and I would like to have it fixed. The ABS fuse is already removed, so it's not a sensor issue. And the fluid resivor is full. (Although when it first lost all pressure, the resivor was half full)
Now, when I want to stop i can either floor it, and gently glide to a stop, or pump the brakes a few times so I can get a hard stop. Once I let off though, more pumpage must ensue.
Any suggestions on where to look before I bring it to a machanic would be nice. I was thinking an old-fashioned flush might help.
On a small side note, I replaced the rotors and pads in November. Ever since then, the back right brake was squeaked (Even with Disk Brake Quiet) when stopping, like it didn't have enough pressure to stick to the rotor. They have had quite a while to wear in, and I do believe that the rear passenger side was not getting enough pressure. Could this be somehow linked? (I've been stopping hard the past few months, to not have to deal with the shrill squeal. It's kind of like someone rubbing a chalkboard, IN YOUR EAR. It's horrible and I can't ride with the windows down)
All suggestions welcome, thanks!
