break system

I have a problem with break system ,

The dealer says that I have contiminated the system with other fluid which made breaks not working. I was lossing pressure in break padel.

I brough it to dealer and they told me there is something in fluid and I have to replace whole system (3000$) labor and parts.


Anybody had this probelm before , because I know I didn't add anything.

Anybody , please repsond.

DO NOT KNOW

nobody knows how could it happen,
i didn't add anything, maybe the rubber houses were made of cheap rubber,
I have no idea, they don't even want to hear about sending fluid for testing in lab,

i know it sounds stupid, but i don't belive them

they knew my warranty was due this month so , they may done something to make sure i come back for service again,

it is going to cost me 3000$
it is sad

One up them ,get a lawyer and have them take a sample at the dealer with a tech provided.
Then get the sample analyzed .If you didn;t add a wrong fluid then there is no problem and they will have to pay for everything including the analization.
