Hello!
R53/2006 stock brakes: After some spirited driving yesterday, during which, as usual, i baked my brakes, lost braking power, and started smelling them through the window (all normal so far) i noticed something i can not explain. The clutch became ultra soft. I could engage gears without problem but it really was strange. My first thought was that as the two circuits share fluids, maybe the "hotness" of the brake fluids affected-somehow- the softness of the clutch. Does this make any sense? Any other explanation please?
When car cooled down everything was back to normal (clutch stiffness included)
Thanks in advance

 

Yes - shared hydraulic system.
My guess would be moisture.
Time to bleed the hydraulic fluid.

Just my guess.

 

Thanks! The system has been bled and fresh fluids in 5 months ago...
