Brake pipe corrosion?
Discussion
Hi folks
Car is at Mclaren having a service. During the video walk round inspection bs , the service engineer noted that the brake lines are corroded and suggested a replacement at a grand total of £1500.
Has anyone else had corrosion notes during the service?
Its just above where the banjo bolt is and just looks like some surface rust to me which would clean up with a wire brush and then it would need protecting with some spray of some sort.
It seems a bit suspicious that this has never been an advisory on any mot, not noted during its pre sale inspection to us ( last April) but brought to light during this service.
We've had the car just under a year and have done approx 2000 miles in dry weather?
Porsche did this to us when they serviced the car approx a month after we bought it foc ( to keep the service history/service on the correct month) and low and behold we needed new brake pads on the back at 1200 quid. This was sorted by a very grumpy wife having a rant at them and then miraculously it didn't need pads and the tech had supposedly taken incorrect readings!
Car is a late 2019 720s 15000 miles.

Turns out it they were just dirty and needed cleaning up. Maybe they should investigate a bit further on their walkarounds before saying things need doing. !
Wow - I knew McLaren liked replacing parts rather than repairing them, but replacing rather than cleaning is a new one on me.Gassing Station | McLaren | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
