No Brakes 1987 911 turbo
Last night, the car started pulling to the right very slightly. I was only a couple miles from home when it started pulling & thought I had a tire going down. Within a mile or so, the brakes went completely out. Pedal went to the floor and had no return pressure. I nursed it home and thought I had a front right pad issue. The brake pedal would return to the top position but it had nothing there.
Pulled the front right wheel this morning and nothing appears wrong. Caliper drags slightly when turned but nothing unusual so I get in the car and there was brake pressure, start the car and it has brake pressure. No, this wasn't a dream. Master cylinder issue? fluid level is good. I've never seen something like this. Any ideas on how to dx this or what might have cause temporary brake failure? |

Sounds like an MC. When the seals start degrading, rubber chunks breaking off can lead to these weird kinds of intermittent issues. Had the identical symptoms in an old Miata.
