I have a WH stato that needs the brakes serviced, (new master, new fluid & pads all round) I would like to know if it is advisable to have it done by a pro & pay due to having ABS, or can I do it myself. Have done many a fluid/pad change over the years, but not involving ABS systems.

Thank's
Kevin

Hi Monaro202

The only 'pro' thing that needs to be done is the pressure bleeding of the system. Seems unusual that a WH Statesman should need a master cylinder at this age. Has the car done ridiculously high kms? Or has the fluid not had regular change
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0

dont think the fluid has ever been changed, there is a hell of a lot of contamination in the fluid & the bowl leaks where it attaches to the cylinder body..
thanks
