Ollies122 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Just contacted my friend at ford, he told me to play the waiting game :( as loz has mentioned do you have any early warning signs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer32 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think this has been around for a while and it's only a visual check. It is on the Fiesta st owners club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkylad Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 just booked mine in. The only warning sign it says on the letter is " Some Fiesta St vechicles with RED brake calipers could experience a very slight brake fluid leakage from the brake hose connection to the Front brake caliper. If a slight leak is present,over a period of time,the brake fluid level will reduce and eventually cause the brake fluid light to come on.The time it takes for this to occur will depend upon vechicle useage and your Driving style. You may also experience a slightly longer pedal travel.. It is important that this vechicle is returned to a Ford Authorised Dealer.Your Dealer Will check the front brake Hose connections and if necessary fit new seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Cheung Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Cheers mate, i'll keep an eye on the fluid level + brake pedal travel - even though that might not be obvious if its gradual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
