Hi, I took my leon on a rapid run with some hard braking. The car stops great from speed however when they get hot (i mean very hot) i can hear the pad skim against the disc. Both sides do it, (it still stops fine and obviously when it gets to this stage i drive slowly). Once cool its totally...

How do you know if your calipers are sticking? What are the signs? Should there the car pull to one side under braking? While driving last night I got a weird screech that kept disappearing when I braked.

Hi all I am a Fabia VRS owner since it is the same platform I thought some of you might have the same problem with the rear caliper (especially the O/S) sticking on. See this thread: http://briskoda.net/fabia-i/handbrake-cable-issue-my-vrs/154579/2/ It involves fitting a small spring to...

Hi Guys, I have a mapped (phase 1) LCR and up until recently it has been running fine but now I seem to have a spurious boost drop, which I can see on by boost gauge. Normally the boost spikes to about 20psi (1.38bar) and then it backs off to a steady 15 is psi (1.03 bar), over the last...

Just noticed that my near side door mirror is not folding in properly. I've done a quick search although cannot find if anyone has had a similar problem. The only thing I could find was posts regarding creaking door mirrors. Cheers in advance.

When I lock the doors with the remote, the drivers side back door is trying to lock but the little plastic pull thing isn't going all the way down. Its really stiff to push down by hand as well. Any ideas where to start trying to loosen it up/fix it? Many thanks

After driving in the wet the front and rear disks get very rusty and I find the pads stick to them badly. I rarely put the handbrake on when parked at home on the level, just leave it in gear so it is not the rear brakes binding under pressure. I also do not tend to drive the car hard before...

The tcs button that is down by the handbrake next to the fuel cap release is sticking . This morning it would not work at all. Just as the weather got worse. Is there any way of getting to the underneath of them.:think:
