Help: Brake reservoir problem
Advice needed on how to tackle the dealer re: this problem. The Brake Fluid warning light came on last week. Opened up the bonnet and the fluid level was below MAX but above the MIN level. About at the MIN-Clutch level actually, anyway. I noticed the float thing that detects the level was stuck down so I jiggled it and got it to float up again.
I've just got back from the dealer, where they say that fluid was leaking out of the seal at the bottom, so they've tightened it up - funny that because its just a push-fit- and refilled the fluid level. The float thing still sticks down if you push it down and you need to pull it to get it to float back up again, and it certainly shows signs of being dirty, which it shouldn't be on a 9 month old car. In my opinion I think they should have replaced the reservoir, but how do I convice them to do it? And will this fault recur with the level hard up to the MAX level. I guess time will tell, but is there any way to make them change the reservoir? Help please, Andy |
