206 using brake fluid

Hi,

I sold my brother my old 99 1.9lxd 206, but the level has started dropping
in the break fluid reservoir. No fluid apperas to be leaking from the car or
the drums or cylinders, the brakes work ok. I thought it mabe leaking back
to the servo, does anyone know of any known issues or a cure?

Thanks

Wayne.

Thanks for the reply....the cylinder has needed topping up regularly over
the last 6 months or so, with a few containers of fluid having been used,
that much fluid would have been flooding out of the drums I would have
thought.

 

Hello,

Two years ago we (i.e, my brother & I) noticed the brake fluid level was
going low. We both thought of the front pad - it was a 205D. Later we found
that a rear cylinder was leaking, and probably for months, judging the state
of drum's internals.

 

tends to soak into dust and linings well though
recommend full strip and check,not by thick-fit though(pointless buying a
full set of shocks at same time

 

Hello Jeff,

LOL ! Some days ago, a post on was relating a
misadventure : a guy came to Eldauroto (a bit like Halfrauds) for a cambelt
change. Two weeks later, big engine fail, an expert watched all this stuff
and concluded by a wrong belt type and a reverse mounting. Ain't they strong
? Bye, 406 1.8 16v...
