I'm driving in mountains roads where is gravel, mud and other rubbish. Furthermore, friction materials are everywhere...yes, there is no dust free pads ;-) If brakes don't dust and eat disc, they don't brake.

 

Yet, I never had problems you describe here.

 

 

 

 furthermore, stuck rear callipers (I didn't know back then

Never had problems? Maybe the O P is at his 'back then' stage.

what your capacities fail to understand?

 

I try to make it easy for you if we drop to level of mocking other people instead of learn what has been presented.

 

1. I bought a car...front brake pads rubbish...replaced OEM

2. brakes overheat...troubleshoot...rear brakes suspicious

3. rear pads replaced

4. left rear calliper stuck...refurbish callipers

5. it all works

Someone definitely seems to have a problem understanding...

I had this on my Astra turned out to be a sticking caliper

Yep I also had sticking pads on my previous car a Seat Cordoba PD130. I cleaned them up and replaced the discs and pads as they were shot anyway from sticking for so long and all was fine.

 

Also had it on my Skoda Felicia and the Peugeot 306 we used to own. It's quite common... but like you say Mike... we're obviously all wrong...

Sticky rear caliper + lots of braking =

 

always amusing reading Briskoda.

 

As I was corrected...we're talking about front brakes. Never seen so called sticky pad on front brake because it has got clips. Only stuck piece is piston.

 

If you can't properly replace pads on rear calliper...don't blame me for your incompetence. I've seen stuck calliper but never seen so called sticky pad.

 

So called sticky pad doesn't cause disc overheating...stuck pistons do.

 

What happens if you realise everything is your fault?

still good until is glowing red :-D

Just because you've never seen/experienced it happening doesn't mean it can't/doesn't happen!

 

I'm speaking from personal experience of many different cars of the front pads getting stuck in the carrier and therefore not releasing properly.

 

Yes they have clips on which does help prevent it by pulling the pad back but doesn't completely eliminate the possibility of it happening.

 

When I changed the front discs and pads on the Octavia I had a squeak and a hot disc. When I removed the pads they were stuck fast and had been rubbing on the disc and so I had to clean it all up with a wire brush so they moved freely.

we're back to poor installation ;-) boy, if I had a nickel whenever I hear it...I would be richest man on Earth. If you can do it right, don't do it at all. you save yourself lots of time and money.

 

My time cost me 30€/h - I have no time to waste

 

if I write something I assume you use quality stuff such as Ferodo or Brembo. You carry installation according workshop manual + tricks + experience

 

as I said, never had problems as you describe here.

Whenever I have experienced this it has either been on cars that are second hand and so I've no idea how the previous pads were installed or they have just not had any work carried out on the brakes for a long time.

 

Yes in an ideal world you would remove the brakes at every service to clean and re-grease them but we all know that doesn't happen so if they're left long enough without any attention they will start to have problems.

 

When I've reinstalled brakes I have used good quality parts and grease and never had any problems afterwards. So like I say it's either down to poor maintenance previously or just a long time between maintenance.

Absolutely hilarious reading most of what you are writing.

You are wasting a lot of time on here, as you're not really helping anyone.

 

And don't forget you're the one insinuating we're all liars, and we don't know how to use our brakes properly. :no: .
