brake calipers seized on my mk iv
« on: 22 April 2010, 14:04 »
just regd this site, lookin for a bit of help.

the rear calipers have just seized for the second time on my 98 mk iv gti.
happened a couple of months ago and had to get new handbrake cables too.

if i get them unseized again, is this gonna keep happenin?
or will i just have to bite the bullet and buy new calipers?

any info appreciated....
