copperthumb -> brakes help!! (2/18/2007 8:41:25 PM)

I am still waiting for anthing on my brake job.
I just now replaced the brake lines too.
Everything is all new,yet the front brakes are still sticking on when the car gets to temperture..
Could it be the new master cylinder is faulty??
Or that the master cylinder is not disengaging fully??
I have put in a new booster as well
I am at my wits end!!
HELP!!

Im not sure what year is  your car.  The newer cars have two master cylinder. One for front brakes and one for rear.
If you only have one then it could be your calipers or you just may have to bleed some fluid out of it.
Let me know how it went

it is a 1991,only 1 master cylinder.
It seemed like the master cylinder was too long and it wasn't releasing..
They seem ok now.
I'll keep my fingers crossed..now on to searching for new tires...[;)]

Replace your front brake hoses, if you have not already done so.  They can become clogged which causes pressure to remain between the hose and the caliper.  Also, make sure that you are using the correct fluid.

OnceI had also the same problem like yours...  I had done also some brake jobs on my VW, but even getting a new Volkswagen brake booster didn't fixed my problem... When I took it to my local dealer, they just made some alignment and bled my brake system... They told me that the reason why they bleed is to let the air out of the system... Goddluck to you though...
