hi all
I recently acquired a 2003 1100 uno panel van that I converted to a family car.
My other car is a 93 prelude with discs all-round no abs and stops every time in no time.
Since I bought the uno the brakes were not very good until Monday I discovered that the back silencer on the original exhaust came lose and knocked the brake pipe going to the LRW to pieces. I replaced this pipe and installed a free flow exhaust, bleeding the brakes all round and all of a sudden the brakes improved drasticly. But only for a while, when I hit the brakes there were nothing. After returning home very slowly I discovered that the reservoir were empty. I immediately investigate this thinking that maybe one of the rear cylinders was leaking, but to my surprise no leaks were visible.
So I topped up and bled the whole system again and all ok. After about one week the same happened and I noticed the reservoir runs empty when the car is parked. I had the back cylinders overhauled and still the same.
I then removed the master cylinder and started stripping this. This is a Bosch
Unit with the number 421469 on the side. When stripping this I came to a white plastic washer type ring. I eventually broke this ring to get the parts out.
1.Is this ring of any use???
2.after installing a new kit without this ring I could only get the rear part to bleed thru??
3.After I broke this white plastic part, all the parts went flying: bang: and I am not hundred present sure if I assembled it correctly. I do have the Haynes’s manual but the master cylinders in the book are completely different to my Bosch unit. Please help??? pic if possible on the Bosch unit
