Hi there guys,
I've recently acquired a 01/2967 P6 2000 TC, beautiful car and absolutely love it.
Embarrasingly while changing the battery (after leaving the lights on during the day, I'm still getting used to a car that doesnt let me know when the lights are left on..) I hooked the battery up backwards, resulting in some smoke coming from the wiring to the alternator and regulator. After switching the leads around the correct way and retaping some form of insulation around the wiring I started up the car and proceeded to go for a drive.
At the end of the road I discovered I no longer had any brakes, the pedal has no feel at all in it and just pushes straight to the firewall.
I've done some searching around the Internet as I'd assumed I had a blown a fuse that controlled the brakes however research indicates that there is none.
Would you be able to suggest what I may have to replace to get the brakes going again?
Thanks, and I look forward to contributing to the forum.
