mk5 front brakes.

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Out today and i noticed the brakes are pulling left (left calliper slightly warm, right cold). I know the calipers are OK because i checked them a few days ago , pads are virtually new. 

 

I was thinking they need bleeding, but it occurs to me the brake pipe on the right caliper might be the culprit.......what do you think?  could have collapsed inside, althought they look new.

I'd swap the pads side to side first.

Either the left is sticking on or right is stuck off.

I realise the pads are fresh, you asked advise, If the problem was mine I'd swap the pads side to side. It'll cost you nothing.

my first thought, air in the system proved to be correct. brakes are fine now.
