i had this experience when the engine of my 120y(b210) dies out, the car's brake became less effective, i have to hit the brake real HARD in order to slow the car down(though the brake is not working that much too). so far i never had any dangerous experience with this problem la.. coz i always drive slow and far away frm the cars in front of me.. there's only once that i think it's dangerous and that is when there's heavy rain and going down hill, the car in front of me brakes and my engine dies out at that moment. my dat nearly kisses the car's @ss.. the other thing is the handbrake, i could never get the handbrake fixed. i sent to mechanic to fix it.. they tighten it, change the rear brakes and stuffs. it does turn out a lil better but after 2 days the handbrake become less effective again. any b210 owner face this problem? |

first thing, its common la.. cause the brake need engine vacuum to boost the braking power so when engine died, no more vacuum (might got some left in the brake servo), so will need extra force from your feet. every car also the same second my damn handbrake.. also never can be fix.. damn one... always cannot eat one.. the handbrake now with new pad still the same |

if u already change the cable then its ok..the problem is the "T" splitter at da exle...that's causing the liat or ketat or not grip enuff... n have u check ur drum? not da brakeshow...the drum...every drum has its diameter, there is a number stating it..n u take ur tape measure it..if the measurement same or more then the number..then its worn out... |

stick, non responsive handbrakes are sign of handbrake cable worned out... last time i asked the costs of replacing it was RM60.. i never changed mine as i usually park with the gear engaged. hocngiap, if your engine dies when you apply hard braking, you have other thing to worry than your handbrake... you'll need to check your servo, the hose connecting to the manifold and the manifold itself. check for leaks. the brake system works on vaccuum. your manifold gives the vaccuum effect from the piston sucking air. if you apply brake and the engine's RPM drop until it dies, you have a leak in your system. this is dangerous as you also know that the brake won't work without vaccuum, |

gee.. looks like everyone had the same problem... there were once i went to check out the brake fluid tubes.. and i found it cracked already, i went to seek for replacement and the mechanic say is ok.. is only the rubber that cracks, it's not leaking... u guys had this problem? but last time i read the megazine, according to the megazine it says that the b210 was the most fuel effeicient vehicle at that moment.. the problem of the car is the brake 'cap' or wadever... i forgot about it already .. kekeke... but last time when me mother still using the a12 engine, it was very hard to start in the morning. need to pull the 'choke' thing in order to start the car more easily... this problem never occur .. after the a15 was planted under the bonnet.. :) |

the servo already leaking... there is 2 types of soft... 1... no paddle feel... this is caused by low brake oil or damaged brake hose. this causes the brake system to lose it's capability to retain pressure to push the brake pump's piston. can be also caused by minor servo leakage 2... decreasing paddle... this happen when you try to hold the brake.. you feel the brake paddle getting lower and lower... this is caused by serious leaking diagpharm or servo... or damaged master pump (the place where you put your brake oil) |
