#1: 2.0 hdi brake failure Author: Will.HDI, Location: lancashirePosted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 9:19 am ---- ok so just been out in my 206 coming down a slight hill and had to brake quite heavily for another car, braked fine for a second then my foot hit the floor! so after peeling my girlfriend off the roof tried it again and no brakes unless i push hard to the floor it also pulls hard to the right and also only the front drivers wheel seems to brake and lock up, handbrake still working fine though but the light stays lit. any help or suggestions please

Common issue with the 206

Brake shoes MUST be replaced in complete axle sets!
If one wheel cylinder has leaked the other wont be far behind it.
Your already gonna have to take the other drum of to fit the new brake shoes so while your in there it makes sense to replace the other wheel cylinder
