00 1,8 does not brake as well it should - marekkuu
I have focus 1.8tdi 66kW 2000 turnier
At the moment the ABS light is on and brakes are numb and hard to press (it takes about 50-60 meters to stop from 100 km/h). Problem began when brakes were making rustling sound when braking (an ABS light came on sometimes but I could not attach it to specific condition). Changing all front and rear pads did not help. Then I braked as hard as I could and brakes became numb and hard to press.ABS is not working either. What seems to be the problem?

Sounds like you may have a servo problem or a leak in the vacuum pipe.

Agree with kith, but........

sounds like you got more than that problem if abs light came on and has stayed on.

Strongly suggest you get a visit to a garage for a full diagnosis. It is your brakes !
