Stick brake caliper

Featured Replies

Hi,

Another issue from me sorry, my driver side caliper is sticking causing all sorts of issues, steering feels windy whilst it's not, heat build up and mpg drop. Thing is I've just swapped the caliper myself and even had skoda bleed it for me and the issue continues, though not all the time.

Pushing the pedal down whilst it's switched off it hardens up, switching the engine on the pedal does sink as it should.

The pedal when driving it is reasonably consistent, no servo-less feel.

Guessing master cylinder or servo issues, neither look nice for access an I'm really not good with handing cars over to garages (control freak issues).

Anyone know a really decent garage in Norwich?

Cheers

The car went in to a really decent local garage and simply the pads were sticking in the sliders, was only £29 of the total bill :)

Is that cheap?

It is when it's not me doing it :)

Sorry, but is the pedal less "wooden" now? :)

Price sounds about right to me. although its an easy job it still takes up time to do.

Just had this on SWMBOs seat leon. The amount of crud that had built up and gummed everything was quite surprising.
