Title: HELP !!!!!
Post by: kylepeo on 13 March 2016, 17:40

Have just spent the last few hours replacing the discs and pads on my 1.9 tdi 130 Bora with Brembo discs and pads

Thought the job went well untill I put the car back on its feet and took for short test

The car now feels like the brakes are on all the time and the discs are getting really hot car has only been driven 1/4 mile

not sure what the problem is as i made sure the pistons where pushed back top cap of brake fluid off when this was done

pedal feels fine but as i say the car feels like its braking all the time

Really need help with this ASAP

Many thanks

Sticking piston? although you pushed/wound the pistons back, when you applied the brakes the pistons may have come out and are sticking.
