What could have caused this? Booster? Servo? Is it just the brake caliper? The brakes are very poor, but they stop straight.   John Cinquegrana (Johnc) Senior Member Username: Johnc Post Number: 484 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 09:58 pm:    I guess you mean the piston in the caliper is locked up, right? If that's the case then the seal around the piston is broke or the piston itself is corroded. They do sell kits to replace the seals and pistons. I am just guessing here...

There is an outfit that repairs the unit here in the US. I can't remember who though so check the archives. Relplacement cost is pretty high though, about $600, and you should replace the accumulator at the same time which is another $250. -P   Cardboardkiller (Cardboardkiller) New Member Username: Cardboardkiller Post Number: 10 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Friday, June 06, 2003 - 07:09 pm:    I believe it is the booster, anyone know where I can pick up a repair kit?   Cardboardkiller (Cardboardkiller) New Member Username: Cardboardkiller Post Number: 11 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Friday, June 06, 2003 - 08:43 pm:    I'm not getting power to the plug going into the pump on the left hand side. Is there a relay, fuse or switch I need to check? I've checked the 4 flat fuses under the drivers seat and I'm getting power to the sockets and the fuses are good.
