  • Any - Bubble Bubble, Boiling Brake Fluid Trouble. 8 Jul 2015 (Forum)
    If you kept driving and feeding more heat into the system eventually you'd heat it all up and I suppose the steam would travel the long, long, narrow, heat dissipating metal pipe to the master cylinder, but meanwhile, you've had a brake failure, and either:- (a) scared the s*** of yourself and stopped.  (b) scared the s*** of yourself and crashed. And stopped. Either way you ain't cookin' no master cylinder no more, no how.

  • Audi A4 B8 - Should I keep it after a DMF replacement 1 Aug 2013 (Forum)
    It seems silly to get rid of the car after 2 years due to depreciation but feel that my hand is forced. An S-Tronic uses a DMF so that would need seem wise.
