2002 Honda Accord brake lines have oil in them?
I have a 2002 Honda Accord. I took it in to get serviced and the tech said that someone had dumped oil into the master cylinder, which had "solidified" the brake lines. We towed the car home and bought a new master cylinder, proportioning valve, brake lines and wheel cylinders (for the back.) after disassembling the master cylinder and proportion valve, we took the brake hoses off of the front wheels. I cut one open to see the damage. The result? They were spotless. No corrosion, no deposits, and the line was flexible and good. However, the brake system is unable to bleed. Do you think there's a clog somewhere under the car in the metal brake lines?
No way to know without inspecting everything.
Sorry, but you got screwed. All you had to do was blow air through the brake line from the wheel side to unclog the line then refill the brake fluid and bleed.
I had a problem like that on my 1990 Ford F150. The left front brake line would not bleed. The problem was the bleeder valve itself was damaged. Replacing the bleeder valve fixed the problem!
Since you have the brake lines disconnected blow compressed air thru them and find out if they are clear?
Were the brakes working okay when you took the car in for "servicing"?
It sounds to me like you went to a quick lube joint and some high school drop out grease monkey sold you some work!
Sounds like no one knows what they are talking about and knows what they are doing? You do not let monkeys fix your can, monkeys sure can peal bananas, but leave it at that!
- Should I paint over a bad tear in my bumper, or order a new one and have the mechanics install it then have them paint it? I recently bought a used 1997 Honda Prelude. It's red and badly sun faded and has a bad tear on the rear bumper. I was wondering whether I should just have it painted over or order a whole new bumper and have the people at the shop install it and paint it for me. Any suggestions?
- Why do motorbike brake shoes have springs that snap them shut? . When the brake is released? I've taken them off the rear drum brake of my Honda 250 scooter and the brake is much more powerful as I'm not wasting effort overcoming the inertia of the springs. What a silly invention in the first place!
- I'm currently working on a Honda crf70f that had some lines cut and now I have to figure out where they came from I'm new to small engines and all that so I have no Idea where this one line goes. It comes from the carb but there's no where for it to go, I have a picture of it.
- 1998 honda accord ex 5 speed. Clutch fluid lines? The fluid lines that come off the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder arent normal looking lines. They don't have a hex top that i can fit a wrench on but rather look like smooth or pressed in. Any idea how to remove them?
