Brakes Sticking on

[glynnd]

When you last replaced the pads did you replace the guide pins?

The pads all appear to have plenty of meat. Up to my ownership the car has had all work done at VW no expense spared as a company car so presumably they did all jobs properly lthough I have no way of checking this other than by changing the pins myself. I don't think the problem is mechanical sticking as releasing hydraulic pressure at the bleed valves immediately eases the brakes.

i have the exact smae problem with my 2002 51 plate 2.5 TDI.

History as follows;

Broke hard causing RNS brake to lock - replacing brake pedal clip and brake light switch

Air plenum flooded. Replaced Brake master cylinder

Adjusted handbrake - causing brakes to stick intermittently. Replaced brake disk and pads. Brake light switch

Intermittent brakes problem still occuring. Occastionally the glow plug indicator on the dash comes on whilst driving. Can un-stick brakes by pumping the brakes hard and restarting the engine a couple of times.

Dodgy servo? ECU?

I believe the CCM to bo OK after flooding as al the interior electrics are OK.

Help!!

Hi, I have had the same problem the calipers are OK and the pads have all been replaced the servo I noticed is rusty inside but even after applying some lubrication to the inside of the servo this has made no difference, it seems that after 20 miles or so of constant driving that the brake pedal position rises and the brakes are binding, I would have chanced changing the master cylinder but after reading previous treads I cannot understand how the servo forces the brakes on when the car has driven for 30 minutes or so. I would appreciate some help with this pain of a problem.
