need brakes to stop

[delart]

problem: brake pedal play increases when it's hot out. car no stop like before.
answer: ???????!
can anybody suggest something

[Bongo]

it's your brake master cylinder. it's leaking inside, the hot weather makes the fluid thinner and it seeps through the seals. i had the exact same problem about 3 weeks ago and i replaced the master cylinder and haven't had any problem at all since. it's a simple job to do yourself and the cylinder is pretty cheap at your local autoparts store. good luck.

thanks, man. i now have something to do for the weekend. appreciate the help.

no problem, when it started happening to me i was stumped too, because i checked everything for leaks and found nothing at all, then after sitting in my garage thinking about it the whole hot weather thing started making sense lol. but it's def the bmc. and don't forget the bleed the master cylinder too.

again, i appreciate the response. i looked in my haynes manual and couldn't figure it out from their tests to do. i would've been stuck for a while too. thanks again.

Look at this! PERFECT example of what a noob should be like. He's got a book, he's using it and just needed a little suggestion. Still could have been solved without the question but I don't think his question was dumb. No stupid shit like "ok how do I do that, can you post a DIY and email it to me" or "where do I buy one of those" or even "where is the nearest shop that will do this and how much does it cost". None of that bullshit. Noobs trying to help themselves and TRUELY learning, NOT by asking incessant stupid questions. You're a good man delart, keep it up.

Haynes manuals suck, at least IMO. props to him for checking though.
I was just about to suggest the BMC as well. I had this problem in my car a few years back, and my parents actually paid someone to do it and it cost like $250. Holy crap that's too expensive.
