w140 brakes trouble
Hello there.
Today I started up my 95 S350 and after idling like 2 minutes I put it in reverse and drove back about 20 feet to get it out from my yard in the street. What really surprized me was when I tried to brake, the brake pedal was like stone, and even though I pressed hard I still couldnt move them even slightly. I had to take the shifter out of Reverse and I hit the handbrake, and that stoped the car from hitting the wall behind me. After this I pressed tried to press the regular brake pedal and it made a noise like something releasing air and then it went all the way down easily. After pumping the brake pedal about 3-4 times it started to work again. I drove the car for about quarter mile and hit the brakes all the way down several times, and everything seemed to work fine. Is my W140 doing me a favor and warning me to change anything in the brake system, maybe a new pump or something?! Thanks |
