I discovered my corroded brake piles the hard way, when the pedal went down and i had very little braking. Thankfully i was only doing about 20mph when this happened, and i immediately pulled over and discovered the hole in the pipe. I bought the copper pipe, fittings and tools, and fabricated new sections to replace all the corroded pipes.
Hi. There are usually more independent circuits on master cylinder to prevent no brakes. On my car there are two circuits: front left + rear right , front right + rear left. ;)
this is what i thought as i've had a fail due to corrosion but another two as advisory due to grease, would it not be better to clean them up, sand the rust and re-paint?
@@nickedwards3515 nope some places will penalize you more for cleaning them cos they think your hiding something,thats why people hate MOT cos theres no consistency,one place will pass it and another will fail it
decent advise up until 7mins, from then I disagree with applying grease of any form. The grease will only attract dirt which builds up and retains moisture and again leads to more , and quicker corrosion . painting the newly exposed metal provides much better protection👍
If you get them replaced use copper pipes, if sanding them cover them in grease leave for a month then gently sand and paint with paint, or use rust convertor
Thanks for the video ! Did it get through the MoT OK with copper grease on the pipes ? The original MoT complained about "covered in grease or other material", right ?
Found my dream (realistic) first car for sale and it passed the MOT this week 2nd time round. Failed first time because of corroded brake lines. I don't know if I should let this put me off?
I bought a corsa 07 plate and I took it for MOT and it had corroded all 4 sides and the guy said it’s a serious issue. It did put me off ngl because I had big plans for the car
@@muhammedomarmalik8909 yep some mot testers must enjoy failing some cars cos they know most people cannot afford the repair unless they can do it themselves,i know cos i took a car for mot a few years back and passed with no advisorys,next year it had done less than 5k miles and it failed on brake pipes when i asked the tester which one he said all of them front to back,when i told him well last year it went straight through the mot with no advisorys ,his reply was well it depended on where you took it,he went quiet when i said i brought it here last year
thanx for posting next time i would get some thin card to put behind the pipes and get a can of copper grease that you can spray on then spread it out with your finger sure saves some time
thats true but at least the car would pass the MOT,would not be wise to apply it on really corroded pipes,when i see brake pipes covered in grease on the advisory make me think a mechanic has done that just to get car through the MOT to sell it on,wont be long before they cotton on to that and make brake pipes that are covered in grease an automatic MOT failure
Yeah if you are going to sand them down. Then paint them. And after a week when the paint has hardened, you can then apply a thin coat of underseal. They will never rust again.
The uk in every possible way seems to pi** me off, from politics to the weather to corrosive salt put on our roads, speed cameras, speed bumps blah blah.

Always make these a priority to replace. One tiny pin hole and you have no brakes. I did the cover up thing for a long while, until it failed :)

Regardless of rust they’ll still be an advisory because of the grease you applied mate
Ahh well as long as they last another year or 2 👍🏻

Just repaint them before the next test, they aren't bad in fairness.

I have never understood why at every MOT I have a corroded brake pipe, Are they not coated with anti corrosion??
Get them replaced with copper pipes and never worry about rust again
If you get them replaced use copper pipes, if sanding them cover them in grease leave for a month then gently sand and paint with paint, or use rust convertor
Thanks for the video !

Yes although it will still have an advisory

How about applying anti-rust paint on the pipes?
Yeah I was going to repaint the in the original colour but it was like £20 for a tiny tin
Will it pass an mot with grease on?
will be a pass with advisory. Better to paint the pipes
Why not underseal while it's still pretty clean that way you will definitely be good for a few years ?
underseal ?
@@YaoGamers underseal is a thick type spray that stops metal from rusting
Excellent explanation 👌 thanks
Put some blocks under front wheels before you jack car up mate!
Rob Myers I use proper wheel chocks mate 👍🏻
cheers for video :D had exact same advisory so its good to learn what it means!
when fixed are they still an issue or are they good as new ?
Usually prolongs the life of them but still worth keeping an eye on!
Once had an advisory for worn brake pads….so I just turned them around…👍🤷♂️
What does it mean when they say breakpipes under sealed
They are covered in underseal
How much would it cost if you put new one?
Thanks
Have you still got this Corsa 😁
Nope!
Good job
Rear Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c))
Something like that will be the advisory on an mot

@@patrickdurees3025 tbf tho unless they are rotten it’s fine. Nothing wrong If they had a bit of light rust, wire brush and protect with grease
Only about £15 to replace, these can just give way at any time. So just replace.
@@K5SSY are they a hard job to replace? Like how long woukd it take roughly
You should have used paint. Even some hammerite would have been fine.
if thats the case just spray some underseal on them
Best thing to do when there like that is sand them down then use green hammer right paint no advisories then good work tho
Yeah if you are going to sand them down. Then paint them. And after a week when the paint has hardened, you can then apply a thin coat of underseal. They will never rust again.
Thanks helps a lot :)
corrosion...almost looks like rust?
Rust is corrosion
@@GeorgeAusters I know. I was quoting you.
Just change them lazy

Paint them or they will pull them again on your mot
I read if you paint them they will fail the MOT?
😂😂😂👌🤡
Talking too much
