Hi everyone. I am new to the forum
 (Just bought a 97 Celica ST around 2 weeks ago) I was driving earlier today, then suddenly, I heard a pop/snap noise and my brake just stopped working. (i.e. I have to step on the brake petal until it hit the floor in order to slow down the car slightly, and I didn't feel any resistant when I was stepping on the brake petal) I drove the car to the closest mechanics available but he won't have time to look at it until tomorrow morning. So, I just want to hear your opinion on what is the cause of the issue because I don't want to get rip off by the guy. Thanks in advance. |

Damn. I always tell everyone about engine braking just in case their reg brakes don't work. So heads up next time. Just use your engine to brake. Not a lot of people know about it but pass it on. It'll help out.
