🚨 Citroen or Peugeot brake pedal sinking with no obvious fluid leak?
🧰 New calipers or master cylinder made no difference?
🛠 We professionally repair internal ABS pump faults—quickly, permanently, and with a lifetime warranty
If you’re working on a Citroen Berlingo or Peugeot Partner—especially from around 2013—and experiencing a brake pedal that slowly sinks to the floor, you might assume the problem lies with the master cylinder, brake lines, or a hidden leak. However, if you’ve replaced those components and still have a soft or dropping pedal, the cause is often inside the ABS pump itself.
At ECU Fix, we specialise in repairing this exact fault—restoring full braking performance without needing to replace the entire ABS unit.
🔍 What Causes the Brake Pedal to Go to the Floor?
A healthy braking system should maintain pedal pressure when the brakes are applied. If the pedal continues to sink, it typically suggests fluid pressure is being lost internally—but not always from a leak.
In many 2013-era Citroen and Peugeot light commercial vehicles, we’ve identified a pattern:
An internal valve or seal failure within the ABS modulator allows brake fluid to bypass internally under pressure. This mimics the symptoms of a faulty master cylinder—but replacing it doesn’t solve the problem.
⚠️ Symptoms of This ABS-Related Brake Fault
If you’re dealing with the issue of a Citroen brake pedal going to the floor, you may also notice:
- No external leaks in the system
- Brake fluid level remains constant
- Brake performance is poor, but there are no fault codes
- Master cylinder, calipers, and hoses already replaced
- Pedal feels firm when engine is off but sinks while running
These symptoms point to internal hydraulic bypass within the ABS pump—not a mechanical or fluid leak elsewhere.
