Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / July 2007Brake pedal - problem
Hi, I have a problem with my Skoda Felicia 1.3 GLX. Sometimes the brake pedal doesn't go back up to its normal position. It happens for several times or more and then it is OK ... till it is not OK again. I have to make it up with my shoe and then I can break again. The car was in a garage twice, they checked the brakes - everything was OK. The breakes were vented twice but it didn't help. What can be done to solve the problem. Please help me. Regards Ewa > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > What can be done to solve the problem. Please > help me. My guess is the piston in the master cylinder is getting jammed when pushed back by the fluid. Lifting the pedal pulls on it and straightens it out and unjams it. I'd seriously take it to a REAK mechanic. Thank you for your reply. >> I have a problem with my Skoda Felicia 1.3 GLX. >> Sometimes the brake pedal doesn't go back up [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > I'd seriously take it to a REAK mechanic. Sorry, I don't know what REAK mechanic is. Could you explain it to me please? Regards, Ewa > Thank you for your reply. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > Regards, > Ewa He was implying you need to see a 'real' mechanic and spelled it wrong I suspect. I agree with him, something is broken or jamming and a 'Real' mechanic wouldn't have taken chances with your life, they would have changed the master cylinder or at least recommended it likely.

BTW, when this problem is happening and you lift up on the pedal, do you need to lift it all the way, or does the pedal jump up on it's own? >>> My guess is the piston in the master cylinder is getting jammed when >>> pushed back by the fluid.

It jumps up on it's own mostly. Sometimes "instead" of not going back up on it's own it goes back up slowly and stops in a half a way. Then I have to "help" it with my shoe too. I don't know how seriuos it is but I never have had any problems with slowing or stopping the car since it occured.
