Hi all.
Recently changed my rear pads after the mechanic told me at MOT time they likely only had a few thousand miles left. Was simple enough, but I remember the OSR piston was very tight when compressing, the NSR on the other hand compressed easily. I didn't undo bleed nipples on either but did undo the cap from the filling reservoir during the process. Fitted Brembo pads and they came with new sliders and screws. Thought no more about it. Bedded the brakes in and have been driving gently since. I haven't done many miles since, admittedly. The EPB now actuates much quicker than recently (thicker pads). Anyway, after faffing about with VCDS as per Rosstech's instructions (and measuring the thickness of the pads and calibrating accordingly) when replacing rear pads, I have been checking the wheels to see if all is well. OSF and NSR wheels are stone cold, NSF and OSR wheels are warm. Not hot at all, just warm. I've experienced my old A2 and the wife's Honda Jazz's rear calipers both seizing, and their wheels got HOT. I'll jack the car up tomorrow and make sure all wheels spin freely, is there anything else I should do? Could the two warm wheels' warmth be connected, as in on the same system? Thanks in advance John.
