corsa b no brakes

[xe Dan]

my little brother has got a corsa b and the brakes have stopped working they wont pump up if u pump the pedle with the car running or not the brake fluid level seems ok help please

Might have a funked rear cylinder, whip the rear drums off for inspection.

Master cylinder seals?

[xe Dan]

jay i will try that first cheers

[AlexW]

Is the pedal stiff?

[kent14sr]

I would check flexi hoses as well - look for signs of fluid escaping although if reservoir looks full it seems unlikely if you have no pedal at all

Maybe check linkage between pedal and servo/master cylinder

[xe Dan]

pedal is just like nothing there it will brake very slightly at bottom of pedal

[kent14sr]

There must be a fluid leak !

Check all flexis - take off front wheels and check calipers also
And rear flexis plus with drums off check cylinders

There must be signs of fluid leaking!

[xe Dan]

ive had the fronts off today no sign there so will be checking rear next

[Pistol Pete]

I would have checked the rears first. As Jay said, the seals on the rear cylinders are probably leaking.

[xe Dan]

was lowering it today and started at front thats why i checked front first
