This is certainly not what I expected down here.  Group: Members Posts: 849 Joined: 21-May 09 From: Bodymore Murderland Member No.: 10,389 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region  |
Had a speedbleeder die today running around during my lunch break at work.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Drove home with the ebrake. I am now kind of sketched about them after this. |

Did they leak past the threads or actual nipple. This is very important as i have them
and would hate to loose my brakes when i am ripping. |

The nipple. i have a nice video the wife and I took of the nipple leaking fluid on every brake pedal depress. I am going to put it on youtube and link it here..... i put another speedbleeder back in there for now but I think I am going to swap them all out and go back to normal bleeders in the not too distant future..... To give you an idea, i was doing 120mph yesterday morning, WOT full boost and this happened a few hours later...... Definitely not good. I mean the pedal decayed before it started going to teh floor, but it was not good enough. Even though my 2001 GTI has a dual circuit master it sure did not feel like it, the pedal physically against the floor slowed me about 1mph per second at most |
