Ford Fiesta Encore 1996, 1.3. brake problem

By ian_sue on May 05, 2009

" "

Ford Fiesta Encore 1996, 1.3. Car running normall with no problems, however today I started the car and drove down the road and as I approached the junction I noticed the brakes were very unresponsive. Fortunately I was not driving too fast and by slamming hard on the brakes the car stopped eventually, but only after quite a few feet. Any ideas? Thanks.

if the pedal is verry hard to push then you have lost vacum to the brake booster or the booster has gone bad.
