Evening people,
I was on my way to work today when I drove down a road with a light dusting of snow on it (0.5cm at the most). Taking it steady at 15 to 20mph I began to slow for a t-junction, I delicately applied the brakes but the wheels just locked up, no flashing of the ESP light or buzzing feel in the brake pedal, nothing!
The car is overdue for a brake fluid change, the brake fluid was last changed roughly 35k miles ago (car is now at 58k). I'm getting worried that the ABS / ESP module is not working properly due to stale brake fluid. (£1200 part!)
Do you think this could be the cause? It just seems very odd that it couldn't even cope with light brake pressure at 15mph! No ice on the road either!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Matt
