huge travel on brakes suddenly :(

Post by CIA356 »

Today I was driving my recently purchased lanos (4 days and have been loving it) when all of the sudden I went to step on the brakes and I thought they were gone completely until I reached the very last centimetre of travel in the pedal and they kicked in. The weirdest thing is the brakes were completely replaced very recently and they were working beautifully until this afternoon. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong because I was really really liking my little woo but now this is worrying me.

check you brake fluid level. if its low you prolly have a leak some where in the hydrolic system, if that is the case get it fixed ASAP and dont drive it till you do.
