[s-cars] Hydraulic brake problems, more information...need help

[chris chambers]

Gabriel,

At this time I have basicly no brakes, the mechanic is telling me that
the master cylinder, brake booster and brake presure accumulator all
need to be replaced because the Pentosin has damaged them.

The brake light doesn't flicker at all...just very poor brakes and the
pedal goes to the floor.

I am assuming flushing the system won't solve the problem.

Chris
