Where's my brakes gone???

[Seanazzo]

Hi all
Driving my clio 182 yesterday night and all is good, breaks where sharp and stopped as they should. The next day I started my car as usual and drove off, as I was coming to a stop the breaks seem to not be working at all so took the car back home.
It seems you have to push the pedal extremely hard to get it to come to some sort of stop, there is break fluid and the pads are Fairley new with plenty of meat on them, when the pedal is pushed in there is still a slight hiss and after it is rock hard.

was wondering if any of you fellow clio owners have experienced this before or know what it is?

Cheers

Sounds like you've lost vacuum to the servo. Check the pipe that runs from the back of the inlet to the brake servo

As James says, check the vacuum pipe i bet it's melted.

Common thing ain't it? Mine went on my black 172

It is if someone has been working round there previously and routed it wrong or no heatshield.
