Brake problem

by Jesswest555 » Sun Mar 17, 2013 7:38 pm

I'm having problems with my breaks, keeps losing pressure. It's ok to start and then randomly it losses pressure and you have to pump them. They've been pressure bled and I can't find any leaks what so ever. No lose of fluid. PLEASE HELP!

I need a calibra turbo 1996 Master Cylinder as I have same symptoms. I can't find one anywhere. Go on eBay and loads appear for calibras, but none for turbo?

Does anyone know where I can get one or would a saab 9-3 1998-2002 master cylinder fit? I was told it was the same?

Rob have spoken to LMF or Autovaux as I would think one of them would be able to get the one you need.

Thanks, spoken to Autovaux, they ate checking suppliers on Monday. It's a mission to find one lol. Not sure what seals as to many on eBay and would not know how to do so just want to get a new one or one from a breaking calibra that is fully working.

Saab 9-3 turbo 1998-2002 supposed to be the same.?

No I don't think they are all the same. The turbo is different. Anyone confirm?
