What's wrong with this picture? Would this cause "no brakes"?

Default holy crap . . . . yes it would.
the banjo fitting needs to be rotated so less stress is placed on the line . . . generally the banjo points down.

Default Hey, I had to try, haha. I've had my brakes go out on me before
(in my old chevy 1500) that was definitely scary. Luckly i was only going 40mph with no other cars around so the ebrake stop worked.

Default My pedal felt really weird, so I was actually on the cell phone with the Audi service department
when they went out. All these lights went off on my dashboard. The audi service guy said, "pull over and have your car towed up here". I knew that I had only a couple of stops after I got on the freeway, so I drove it in with e-brake (and down-shifting alot).
