Loss of braking!!

[brisa4984]

hello cs's got a bit of a problemo wit braking..

About 3 months ago i got brakes and pads changed all round, including abs rings etc. Braking was fine and solid on turning and in straight line. Recently though, when slowing down from about 20mph to 0 on turning one full turn i get hardly any braking. I can hear the abs go like crazy, and i really have to press the brake for life as im over shooting the junction.

Its happened more than once on turning both left and right and i dont get why its happening. Im way over the bedding in milage so i know its not that an i wasnt caining it before hand so brakes werent mega hot.

any clues?

cheers

yeh hopefully someone has a bit of an idea. Tis scary though!

I lost my brakes completely the other week while i was sitting in traffic in that heat.
Turns out i shouldnt have been so lazy and sourced an exhaust manifold heatshield quicker... the fluid must have boiled.

Check the flexable brake lines arn't kinked.
Does the AB swork at othe rspeeds you might have the wrong ABS ring fitted.

Agree with edde . If its only happening when you've got full lock on sounds like the brake lines are getting a kink in them some how .

cheers for the input!..

ABS works decent at other times, like in a straight line... but think im going to have a quick check to see if their kinked...
