156 brake pipes.
My wife had a brake failure on our 1999 156 1.8T. The garage says a brake
pipe has rusted through and all the fluid escaped. Just thought I'd mention it so that people can inspect theirs for similar corrosion. -- Simon Mason Anlaby East Yorkshire. 53°44'N 0°26'W http://www.simonmason.karoo.net |
