Glanza_Ragger Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Had the car on the mot brake tester today and suddenly pop, brake fluid everywhere..Luckily its only round the corner from me so popped it home but didnt get time to look under the arch as it was pouring down..I got under the mot pit to have a look and hard to spot where it was comming from with the wheel on, but it looks to be pissing out from near the damper, above the caliper..So im assuming the union has bust?Its not comming from the banjo on the caliper, but whats the chance ill take the wheel off and the braided line has a split ?Ive never heard of one splitting before under pressure..Nearside front had low pressure and offside rear low pressure.. any ideas?

WallaceGlanza Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I would doubt the actual braid would split, but possibly where its crimped at the end its popped out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 the psi burst rating for goodridge is silly high. they rate them at 300 psi and they burst at 1000psi I believe. il double check some time so the v is back on the road again soon then?

Glanza_Ragger Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 The tie i was using to hold the line to the damper with has snapped, allowing the line to rub on the damper.= Split, just nipping to Daves to pick 2 x fronts up now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
