So I was driving the car for the first time in a week or 2, and the brakes felt a little funny. Also smell something like an "electrical fire". But no smoke or anything. All other fluids seem to be fine.
The very top right container next to the diagnostics box is low (is this brake fluid?) and My master cylinder next to that is low. My car is garage kept, so I would see obvious drips, and none are there thanks This post has been edited by slickr: Oct 14, 2010 - 1:29 PM |

Ok, thanks for actually answering me
I took the caliper off and the piston froze up again, so I ordered a new one, it'll be here tomorrow morning hopefully that solves that. But now worried about the clutch. Had a new clutch installed like a year ago, resurfaced flywheel and what not. It was a little bit below half way, But I have never ever checked it, could have just been the same last year. Clutch feels fine. Should I just drive it, and check the level every once in a while, or do you think something could be wrong that i should check now instead Thanks to everyone who help my noobness out Can I put the gt4 brakes directly on if I got my self a pair? I see some selling, and have the extra money, just curious about the direct bolting of it and all. |
