RECALL : UK ONLY THREAD: Brake Hose Pipes (ARB0) - 21,466 cars will be recalled.

[W1NGE]

Thanks, I emailed my opc and they apologised for not updating the psm. If I pop it in when I am passing they will update it. In the meantime they have provided a copy of the work sheet which shows ARB0 plus 2 year brake fluid change plus WPK05 reprogramming PSM control unit as all being completed.

WPK0 will be the step change in braking then - this actually took up to 6 hours to complete (apparently) but the car is '000 times better than before in terms of braking (all aspects).

I got my car back last week after the ARB0 and WPK0 recalls were carried out and I can't say the brakes feel any different - I've got PCCB though so maybe that affects things.

Yep, mine no longer has the pedal fade when coming to a standstill and transitioning from regenerative braking to mechanical braking.

Mine was in and out within about 3 hours so assume, hoses changed, system bleed, the hydraulic unit passed and it was just a case of the programming the psm...

Mine done last week too. Feel much better now. Braking starts much nearer the top of the pedal with less dead zone.

Possibly. I have PSCBs. Braking was always "iffy" when travelling slowly or when slowing down and required either more pressure or a fresh pair of kegs. My 4S (standard discs) was the exact same). Now there is instant bite at low speed to a standstill and is really how it ought to have been from the factory.

I also agree that braking feels much better. I have PSCB. There seems to be a lot more feel and reckon it’s using more friction brakes, or blending them in earlier possibly, to increase the feel.

How long does the recall take to complete. I just got told it needs to sit for 24 hours ?

It does not need to sit for 24 hours. Mine was booked in from 9:30 to 17:00 absolute latest at PRG Reading. It did not get done it that time period, however, because the technician’s prior job overran…

Hmm. This is PRG too. I was told when I booked in it was 1 day turn around. But now seems that was bad info. Apparently.

In at 09.30 picked up after wash and brush up at 15.00

Booked my appt several weeks ago for tomorrow. Call today to say parts supply issue and will be at least end of November! Acceptable from a premium motor manufacturer.....

Has anyone with a Turbo S had there’s done yet? Can’t believe our PCCB lines are that exotic!

That's what I'm hoping to see change in mine. I've had them bled twice and they're still not as I'd expect them to be.

My car was meant to be in Glasgow this week for the hose replacement but they called last Friday to cancel as they hadn't received the parts yet and the next available time they have a hire car is into November so I'm waiting until then now.

I had my GTS with PCCB done last week. The appointment was booked early August and delayed from early September due to parts availability. If I understand correctly the PCCB brakes do require a different hose from steel.

Hogwash!

A full day is safe (assuming all other campaign / recall work has been performed). The work is in several parts - hose replacement, brake flush, reprogramming of PSM etc.

Mine took 1.5 days (08:00 start) as they also were insistent on replacing the heater (already performed before delivery) so I went with it.
