MacGyver - No Brakes

MacGyver figures out a way to fix the brakes on a runaway car. (The Enemy Within)

[@drpinky504]

@@brianrayner676 My experience is that broken power steering is worse than manual steering. If power steering is broken it fights you even when moving.

[@brianrayner676]

@@drpinky504 it doesn't " fight you " . The ratio is a lot higher on a manual box. So yeah, a box that had power assist being used without it requires more effort. Once it's rolling the effort is very little.

[@robbirobson7330]

i used to fix my car like that had a fluid leak and the clutch wasn't working out in the jungle so i fixed the leak and put some of brake fluid into the clutch reservoir as its the same and i was able to get home.

not true, you can use power steering fluid for brakes, even transmission fluid. but don't use either for transmission fluid, that would be bad for transmission

[@brianleeper5737]

@@robrod8329 Straight from the owner's manual: "Using the wrong fluid can badly damage brake hydraulic system parts. For example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in the brake hydraulic system can damage brake hydraulic system parts so badly that they will have to be replaced. Do not let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid." Power steering fluid and transmission fluid are mineral-based oils.

[@TheSaneHatter]

It occurs to me, that MacGuyver is basically acting like a living R2 unit in this scene, diverting power from one "system" to another after the "ship" is hit by weapons fire. (Yes, I'm a geek.)

[@jaxes88]

what they didn't show you is the part where once he popped off the power steering pump line (with no tools mind you) the guy driving wouldnt be able to steer quick enough to make those corners, and even if the brakes did start to work (without bleeding the air out of em) mac would have flown off of the front of the car the second the driver used them. but still macgyver is a great show

[@kennygee2715]

Yeah it's totally unrealistic. He didn't fix the actual blown brake line, and they would need to pump the air out of the lines by opening the bleed screws at each wheel. haha.

Funny thing is the emergency brake does not run on fluid. It runs off a cable. Lol. Little blooper for ya.

[@julianhaylock9843]

Emergency breaks work on a cable so unless their was issues with the cable it would have worked

[@stellakowalski3844]

Volvos have a duel hydraulic breaking system including a second reservoir. If one line is compromised the other system would still be there. Further: the lines out of the master cylinder up to the fender wells are all metal and not rubber. Whatever brake line that was hit by the bullet was a modification made for this show. So call I this BS. Also hoods don't fly off because the internal latch is released. There is a primary latch which has to be released at the front of the car. Never mind that the hood is attached with some formidable bolts where it is the hinged to the car.

[@kennygee2715]

yeah it's total crap on so many levels. Dual brake systems were mandated in the US sometime in the 60s. Probably similar time frame for Europe too. The people who make TV shows know the average person knows nothing about mechanics, so they can just throw some crap together.

I find it hard to believe that there would be germans in california (talking about military), because there ain't no german region with that climate or that kind of roads (instead of two yellow lines, they have just one white line). And I dont get it with the border thingy too. From Cali Germany to Cali America with those pathetic wooden boxes as border patrol ? :D:D And of course the whole brakes thing is a fail. Brakes @ 3:09

[@eaglevision993]

As a German, there are so many fails to make it look like Germany....all the way to the end with the wrong grammar on that flimsy wooden shack at the border. Still like the old series better, the new version is just not the same.

*MacGyver's life is so eventful*

[@cameronwhyte7223]

Keep a firm grip on steering. Pump the brake pedal. Change down a gear, even in an automatic. Or get MacGyver to fix it.

[@chitlitlah]

0:40 The brake pedal is to the metal and the brakes are "fading"? 0:51 Did the malfunctioning brakes make the steering wheel too hot to hold? 0:55 They are obviously not doing >130 km/h. 1:14 The emergency brake uses a cable, not brake fluid. Otherwise, what good would it be in an emergency? 1:42 If you pull the hood latch from inside, you still have to pull another latch at the front of the car. The hood would've slammed into the windshield too as I've experienced. 2:03 He doesn't have much trouble hanging on considering they're doing 130 km/h and sliding around curves. 2:18 The brake line is still spraying fluid even though the pedal long stopped working? 2:48 He can't hear you! Oh wait, I guess he can. 2:58 I've never seen clear power steering fluid. Did he pull the washer fluid line instead? 3:35 The reservoir doesn't have to be filled to the brim before trying the brakes. 4:02 Really? They're just going to take off again with a leaking brake line and a leaking power steering line?

[@kennygee2715]

yeah, total crap. It's like the people who made this know nothing about cars. Also, they would need to bleed the brakes before they actually work. haha.

[@chitlitlah]

I loved watching MacGyver as a kid but some of the stuff is ridiculous after growing up and learning how things work.

It's definitely automatic. Only two pedals. As this is an older vehicle, they could downshift to 3-2-L to put the transmission into lower gears slowung down the vehicle.

[@minutte]

- WW2 German uniforms - dry mediterrean-like landscape of Eastern Germany - a Volvo in DDR? - the Volvo is an automatic model, but back then in Europe cars were manual. So you engine brake with the gearbox.
