FUck i hate cars! Sloppy brakes= change MC and no worky
 

So i decided to change out my old MC from the 4 door cause i had this nifty EX one in the garage waiting for it to be installed for the longest. Long story short. I change MC's but notice alot of Brake fluid leaking from behind the Brake booster and on to the rear cross member. WTF??? being the mexican that i am i said ---- it! Only to have a popping noise occur when i went to press on the brake after i installed everything and what not. Not only that but when i press on the brake the idle goes up to like 3 grand and i hear a noise like air is escaping from where the brake pedal is. That and I now have a puddle of brake fluid from right under the brake pedal...WTF?????? did my brake booster take a ----??? it couldnt have been the MC? could it? i have never seen anything like this.

OH well i guess i need a new brake booster.

Ouch. That's messed up. I've never in my life actually seen a booster fail.

me niether....thats why i dont know what to make of it...

Re: FUck i hate cars! Sloppy brakes= change MC and no worky
 

The hitting the brake accompanied by a surge SOUNDS like it'd make sense to me. like a hole in the diaphram or somethin?

Re: FUck i hate cars! Sloppy brakes= change MC and no worky
 

sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere

the booster cant leak fluid, its just a big vacuum diaphram. just get a new master cyl and try again

Re: FUck i hate cars! Sloppy brakes= change MC and no worky
 

yeah but why when i press on the brakes i get the car up to 3500 rpms??? i didnt touch any vaccum lines. and i have ass loads of brake fuid under the pedals. plus its really hard at first and then when you keep your foot on the pedal it goes all the way down.

Re: FUck i hate cars! Sloppy brakes= change MC and no worky
 

did u make sure there is a gasket between the master cyl and the booster?? vac leaks can happpen there

Re: FUck i hate cars! Sloppy brakes= change MC and no worky
 

yeah i did. i think the MC went out and thats why the leak of fuid began. that and i think the Booster just took a ---- ..whatever...im gonna buy a new one and be done with it.

Cars suck sometimes.
