hence my question, after the 2nd run of the afternoon session the Brake warning light comes on, check level and for leaks, no leaks but level is way over max.

Anyways for novice class my buddy took 1st place in boxster s, I took 3rd(2001 C4), but I'm pretty sure I could have taken 2nd and given my buddy a run for 1st but I had a brake issue on the 2nd run of the afternoon session.

So my next run, everytime I touched the brakes ABS would kick in, which threw everything off, 4th run psycholigically I didn't want to use the brakes so ending up using throttle to slow down then brake, which threw my timing off.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So anyways, my buddy and I did our first PCA autocross event at Fort Devens, MA. Great bunch of P-car owners there, very accomodating and understanding of the newbies. Wonder if any of them are rennlisters? Anyways for novice class my buddy took 1st place in boxster s, I took 3rd(2001 C4), but I'm pretty sure I could have taken 2nd and given my buddy a run for 1st but I had a brake issue on the 2nd run of the afternoon session. hence my question, after the 2nd run of the afternoon session the Brake warning light comes on, check level and for leaks, no leaks but level is way over max. So my next run, everytime I touched the brakes ABS would kick in, which threw everything off, 4th run psycholigically I didn't want to use the brakes so ending up using throttle to slow down then brake, which threw my timing off. - so my question is can an overfilled resovoir tank cause this ABS issue(maybe due to increased pressure in the sytem?) I would have removed some but didn't have any way to do it w/o contaminating the fluid.....I guess I could have tried to bleed some out.... Hope to fix this problem for next months Auto-x so I can get the 1st place beer glass.

POST 2Original post

Should have your brake system bled and level checked. Could be air or too full. Sounds like they got hot and over pressured the system.

SOOOOOO TRUE! Did 2 AutoX...then 1 DE....then new wheels and track tires, ECU next....next year, contemplating 944 Track Car then on to NASA, Chin, PCA and maybe SCCA. :-)

POST 6Original post

Did my first autocross in July and plan on doing the next one this weekend. I found it to be a blast also.

Brake pads "seated" on first run, tires heated, better braking, more ABS activation. With the VC "pre-heated" you may have different driving dynamics.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Brake flush I believe was done ~ 6k miles ago. The level as so high that there was almost no bubble in the resevoir tank...... I'll be doing a brake flush before the next Auto-x that's for sure.

Do you know what fluid was used? Regardless, make sure this next time they use a high temp performance fluid like Endless (porsche cup fill) or Castrol SRF. Expensive and worth every penny...
