Very Soft Brakes

[throbbinggristle]

hi all

 

wife reported that she heard a thud or a pop and at the same time she lost brake pressure.

 

I checked this morning and there is limited pressure on the pedal.

 

pumping on the pedal brings back some pressure, but it just sinks to the floor after a sort time.

 

I've checked for leaks, checked the fluid level and the vacuum hose and all seems fine.

 

I suspect it's the the master cylinder thats failing, is there a repair kit that could fix it?

 

Thanks

 

Mike

If such a thing exists, it's not a kit you can get from Ford, it'll be a new master cylinder I expect if it's the seals in it that have failed. If you unbolt the master cylinder from the servo take a look and see if you can see any fluid leakage from the inside of the cylinder into the servo housing.

I think seal kits are a thing of the past, there will be a certain amount of wear in the cylinder bore anyway so just fit a new cylinder.
