Break peddle solid hard cant press down , and therefore cant stop the car ! Luckily this happened at very low speed , so quickly pull up the hand brakes to stop So happen 11km already , so Brought it to Segambut SC and told them about it. They bleed the brake lines and say problem solved . But today happen again ! Thinking of going to Mutiara SC, but wanna know from LYN members experience on whats the problem and how it was solved and what to look out for

There are overlap usage of terms of "brake booster". For clarity, brake booster refers to this: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Vacuum assist pump(aka the 2014 model brake booster) refers to this: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « How brake booster works How vacuum pump works Below are the comparisons: - Our EB with or without vacuum pump, are only vacuum assisted hydraulic, not electronic. - With or without vacuum pump, if there is vacuum leak, after several succession of brake pressing, the pedal will become hard and no braking power. Again, when this happens, you have a weak brake because something is wrong. - Difference with or without vacuum pump, is the feel of 'hardness' when pressing brake. But, doesn't cause lose of braking power. - When aircon is on full power, it means the aircon compressor and alternator are both loading the engine. This causes the RPM to drop, and the vacuum pressure suffers. This in turns causes the lose of brake power. Increasing engine RPM, or adding a vacuum pump will solve this problem. Does your unit have vacuum pump? Most likely not. And if you thought you got the 2014 model without the vacuum pump, then you've been short-changed. The symptom usually means poor vacuum to the brake master pump. Could be caused by air leak. Need to find out problem first. Installing vacuum pump is not a solution to the problem, but can solve it indirectly. Here's a guide to troubleshooting: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A) With the engine not running, press and depress the brake pedal several times to remove any vacuum from inside the brake system. B) On the last push of the brake pedal, hold moderate pressure on the brake pedal. Don’t push like you are panic stopping, simply hold pressure like you are sitting at a red light. C) Start the engine and pay attention to what happens to the brake pedal. D) If the pedal drops slightly, then the booster\vacuum is working correctly. E) If the pedal does not move at all, then there is a very good chance the booster\vacuum is bad. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Thanks for the clear explanation , will try it out later Quite dangerous to suddenly have no brakes

I believe there is a Critical Level which we cross - when the cars shape is worse the the other guys , the other guy will take extra care not to damage his own car by knocking into yours ! Eg : When i park my new EB nicely in parking lot , some idiot sure park close to me and when open door , scratch my paint. When i park my old Wira ( lots of scratches) next to a BMW or Merc Who dunno how to park in centre of box, somehow they still manage to get into their own cars without scratching mine

When im in city , Ron97 vs Ron95 is like night and day Power delivery and tork is there , the engine is more quiet and also all thos eirritating knocking and rattling sounds from the dashboard is lessensd coz the power delivered puts the engine under less strain and gives better performance and even better milage !! Huh ?!? My other cars give same mialage but Exora likes the extra oomph ! Ron95 now reserved for the highways

All authorised service centre have proper branding usage lar, from exterior, interior,mechanics attire,until letterhead. Workshop standard la put all those logo to appear like they specialist with that brand. Many workshop also put mercedes, bmw logo but that doesnt mean they authorised service centre for mercedes liao. J The sign at entrance saying " Proton Service Centre " and the Proton Logo sign board doesn't ring alarm bells bro Should it ? Also last year , only had the Proton sign board , no other brands and all cars in the work shop was Proton... ........so i didnt think "Shitz i walked into a BMW workshop !
