    sirs,

    would you know what's the use of that white ceramic thing, about 40x20 cm, inside the brake fuid reservoir?
    i saw it floating in the reservoir of my 7G galant... di ba delikado 'to? i think i saw a screw hole, pero broken...

    thanks in advance!

    My doubtful guess, ceramic floater attracts water? -- So that the brake fluid that runs along the line is almost waterless.

    i think its for the brake fluid sensor warning..ung nailaw kapag low brake fluid level..

    sir,dont know kung naalis yan ng dudukutin lang sa baso/reservoir.havent tried it yet,e..

    try mo sa surplus shops...(ex. sa banawe)-->masmaganda kung dala mo ung part as sample.

    pero i doubt kung un lang bebenta nila...baka ung buong master brake..pero malay mo,mayroong ganun lang binebenta...
    i think di nagbebenta ng ganyan lang ang brandnew..kung meron man,baka mahal..

    hope i helped..

    thanks AY!

    tingin ko nga hindi nakakabili nun. malamang buong reservoir.

    i'll just drain the fluid ang check what else can i do.

    gracias senyor!
