Loud bang after braking

[Jyxo]

Was driving today and I braked, car made a loud bang after braking, had no brakes for atleast a minute then went back to normal, any idea what could of caused of this?

Serious question... Has your engine fallen out?

A friend had this and his engine mount on the driver's side had gone and the engine dropped!

[Jyxo]

Just went outside to check and the engine seems to be in place.

maybe a build up of pressure in the master cylinder. have you checked your brak fluid level since?

[Manu]

was that some heavy braking? Smells like you boiled your fluid.

[Jyxo]

Wasn't heavy braking no, but I'll put it down to brake fluid then even though it is about 3/4's full, just weird how I didn't have no brakes for about a minute pedal just went straight to the floor then went back to normal.

[Manu]

you probably cooked it. I'd say get it changed if you haven't done that recently, that's part of the maintenance

[Jyxo]

The car was fully serviced about 5 months ago though, all fluids changed etc, but I'll change it again just to be safe.

[Manu]

otherwise I would have said master cinlynder but it's not possible since you had your brakes back. Weird really

[Manu]

check your pads are still in place too.
