Malfunctions of brake lines, their causes and symptoms

• Corrosion damage. Signs of corrosion can appear on the inner side of the part due to the low quality of the working fluid or its untimely replacement. They appear on the external part as a result of being exposed to high temperatures and pressure while braking heavily and when the ABS, ESP, EBD systems are working. Moreover, dirt and moisture from roads get onto the surface of these car parts. It is possible to notice slight defects during a scheduled inspection.
• Mechanical damage. Tubes can crack, wear out or deform when going over an obstacle, for instance. Besides, inappropriate mounting of hose clamps is a common cause of malfunctions. If the integrity of brake lines has been lost, they are no longer air-tight and the working fluid starts leaking out.
