Do you have to use any kind of teflon tape or pipetite when installing a new propotioning valve? I just installed a new one and all the lines are tight but two of the lines are still leaking fluid.


WTF!

I have replace almost the entire braking system except for the hard lines and the booster. I just want to be able to drive my car without any issues!

I put nothing on them, if you have the line where its flared all the way in an tight it down you should have no problems

yea not supposed to use teflon on the brake lines. tighen them more and make sure the flares are still in good shape both on the line and inside the prop valve

Did you cross thread them? It is easy to cross thread and tighten them down like normal.
