Not 406 related, again sorry,

Post by lozz »

Anyideas,here chaps

Ive had ago at sorting the Brakes out on a suzuki weve got sat in the garage,
was thinking of putting it back on the Road for little while, instead of using the fiat which im not impressed with,

the problem is the brakes are only working on 3 corners,
the front passenger side one is doing nothing,

ive bled all of them and theres nothing coming out of the front N/s caliper
ive checked to see if its seized but it Moves freely, ive only spent 20mins on it and gave up, lost for ideas as what to try next,

Any ideas,

the car is a 01 reg Zuki alto, 998 cc,

If there's nothing going through the line then I guess it must be blocked. Try splitting it at the flexible pipe to see if something comes out there, if not look for damage to the metal section :?

Ive tried everything still nothing,

took the pipes off one at a time, right up to the Master cylinder and nothing coming out of there,
only getting preasure for the 3 other corners,

looks like Master cylinder is fubard iguess,
