had massive brake fade today. approached a roundabout started braking then my foot hit the floor. got to my girlfriends and got the wheel off. turns out the near side braided line had rubbed through and the fluid was p**sing out  ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

As said above, that's not brake fade. Fade is poor braking as a result of high brake temperatures, usually caused by repeated hard braking in a short space of time.________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ |

That's very lucky you didn't bin it. With brake fade it shouldn't be complete lack of braking, just reduced, sometimes severely. Here's an example that I experienced: My view; @ 10:42 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=DAnKk0BDLKA#t=635 The rather concerned skoda drivers view; @ 11:10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbylBudT1y4&feature=player_detailpage&list=PLEEED3CDBAEFAF329#t=670 It was so poor in fact, I found engine braking to be more effective, as you may hear  ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |
