I posted last week i think about the old mans escort estate, he said when rolling down a hill etc it was slowing down rather than just free rolling and the drivers side wheel was RED HOT.
So he got it checked out and it was the caliper sticking or something so he got a new one on, and also the discs/pads were screwed so they were changed aswell.
Now a few days on hes got exactly the same problem, car seems to pull up abit and the drivers side wheel is red hot again.
Someone said hose before, thats the only thing that wasnt replaced.

 

i know its not a cossie but someone must know about "normal" brakes on this forum

 

same thing happened to one of the vans at work got the disc pads and hoses replaced get the hoses done imho cos its probably clogging up or something

 

cheers matey

 

Deffo get the hoses done they're about Ł25 each for fronts tho

 

hose mate, the car wasnt checked properly, less than Ł20 from motor stores

 

i thought so

Thanks anyway guys

 

Had same prob on mine, turned out that some plonker had replaced the flexi hose and had over crimped the hose where it goes through the bracket on the shocker, so it wasnt letting pressure off on that caliper and was binding all the time. I just prised it open a bit with a screwdriver & sorted.

 

Cheers, defo sounding hose related then

 

In your first thread, 2 different people said the pipes break down internally

 

brake hose

Ł12 if you shop about, put new uns on my mums esc gti not long ago

 

Fingers crossed he's got it fixed by now... otherwise he'll have gone through a shitload of warped discs in the 14 months since this thread was posted.


Cheers,

Im not even going to ask, i guess he got bored or has some fascination with me
