Hello! I was worrying if anyone encounter this issue before. I just change my front rotors and pads, but my power
assist went out any ideas:addict:

Nope unless you have very small primate hands and snake flexibility...
EDIT: assuming that IS the problem...

Lol......I think it the power assist vacuum hose, becuz when I press on the brake pedal, when the car is running it is hard as the ground we walk on. I think it is also affecting the turbo becuz of the vacuum leak
