hadyn Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Sometimes when your brake pads wear out, the cylinder in the calipher pushes in due to the lack of pad, eating up fluid causing the brake fluid to run low. Also when accelerating/cornering hard the brake fluid in the reservoir flies all over the pot which causes the sensor to throw up a warning light. If its the main triangle warning light and the (!) light you see when you usually have the handbrake on, I'm 90% sure its brake fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 ive just checked on sat its defo not brake fluid could it be a wiring fault? No, it's your brake fluid. Top it up even if it looks like it's above the line. One of the most common "faults". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
