Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

Question
eyepea
Hi,
In my car, one of the rear brake cylinders is leaking a little bit of oil.
No noticeable drop in level of oil in brake oil reservoir.
(rear - drum. front - disk)
Bass said brake washer needs to be replaced. Am yet to take it for repair.
1). If replacing brake washers, have all brake washers (i.e. rear both sides + front both sides + master cylinder) got to be replaced or only washers in leaking cylinder need be replaced ?
2). Has the brake system got to be bled after replacing washers ?
3). In slow breaking (for e.g. applying brake very lightly to gradually slow down for a traffic light some distance away, in a clear road), occasionally, I feel that the brake pedal goes in a little bit.
Let me try to clearly explain it a bit more:
I press the brake pedal lightly, then I feel some resistance / pressure from the pedal. I am not pressing any more because there is no need to slow down the car more.
The resistance / pressure felt from the pedal is the same. Then suddenly I feel the resistance from the pedal drop a little and since I was pressing the pedal, the pedal goes in just a little bit. Then I push down my foot a little bit and I feel the same resistance / pressure from the pedal again.
This happens quickly and as an automatic reaction of the foot and I don't feel as if the car looses any breaking power or the slowing down rate changes at that moment. Of course when there is a car in front it is a teeny weeny bit hair tingling
The actual down movement felt is very little. I did not find it convenient to observe it. Also this issue happens only occasionally. I cannot create the problem at will.
Another thing, in hard breaking (well not necessarily breaking hard to tilt the car forward , but pressing the break more than I described above) did not notice above behaviour yet.
Can this be due to the leaking break cylinder or something else?
Thanks!
