X type braking problem

[George georgiou]

My x type 2.5 AWD auto has braking issues. When car is cold brakes barely stop the car. When I pump go and stop numerous times the brakes come back to life and are ok the rest of the day. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

I would suggest you drive it somewhere very carefully where someone with more mechanical skills can assess the problem.

Several possible causes come to mind such as air in the system, dirty/old fluid, siezed calipers, weak/broken seal in master cylinder - there are many other possibilities. It would need to be seen/diagnosed by someone rather than "remote diagnostics" on the forum.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
