Hi guys,
Took my car for about an hour spin today, somewhat spirited, most around town. Turned it off and left for five minutes. When I got in and fired it up the dashboard brake light was on as if the parking brake was not fully disengaged. Noticed that there was no power assist to the brakes. Headed cautiously home and the car started to run hot (110 degree)...
I left it for 1/2 hour or so checked the fluids and then limped it home while stopping to let it cool a few times. (Happened a mile away from home, didn't let it go over 100 degrees.
Oil level normal, coolant level normal, no steam...car runs fine.
What is the connection between brake assist and overheating? Can't just be coincidence....
What went wrong....any ideas????
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
