Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi there. I had to do a fairly dramatic emergency stop from about 30mph when a kid ran into the road in front of me. No damage to the kid as luckily I wasn't going to fast - although as the window was open he may have heard some fairly bad language... But my 2002 Carrera 4 isn't happy! Immediately I noticed a lot more travel in the brake pedal. Then next morning I got a "low brake fluid" and also a "pcm fault" warning on start up. (Haven't actually had the chance to look at the fluid level yet as had to rush to work ) Seems weird that sudden braking causes the fluid level to drop off and a pcm fault. What do people think?

Could be a split hose - do the brakes feel weaker now? A split hose will also take out the wheel on the opposite end and opposite side. Try and get the car in the air & check out the hoses first - a split will be obvious. Alternatively, it could be a weak seal somewhere.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
