[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1277582, member: 21926"] That does sound odd. The fluid is suspect at best, change it. That’s not expensive and you should be changing it anyway. I am trying to think back, but I don’t think I’ve ever killed a master cylinder. I’m not saying that’s wrong - it does sound suspiciously like it could be that, just that I’ve never had one go out on me. I have had a bmw abs module go out on me, made by effete German engineers entirely too impressed with their own competence. Come to think of it, that failure went like this - brake, brake, brake harder because not slowing down fast enough, brake feel goes to zero. Downshift rapidly, pump brakes again, zero brake feel and then BOOM - ABS fault and full lock up (because the brakes were fully depressed). In my case the abs fault caused brakes to perform normal braking, which worked like they should immediately after fault! This was a rental, and one of the reasons I pity bmw owners and am a FRF branded “euro-phobe”. :biggrin: [/QUOTE]
