Brembo calipers seizing

[YerMother]

Anyone had any problems with there brembos seizing?

I changed my pads today and noticed un-even ware on the off-side caliper on the inside pad! It was very stiff to push the pistons back into the caliper! Not sure if it's just a one off or its getting sh!t up inside

Would it be a warrenty issue?

not come across this myself.
on heavily used ones the dust seals have been known to go a bit 'crispy'
They did'nt seize tho.

All the one's I've seen wear like that, Ibiza's, Leon's.. not come across any seized though.

First set of pads i have had that have worn un-evenly! Like i said could be a one off, i'll just keep me eye on it!

Cheers guys!

mine have worn unevenly previously.. tapered yea? - Brembo's.

not sticky pistons tho on mine

more a function of very very hot track use on mine

 

[Revo Kev]

Yep, never had sticky pistons.. last 3 sets of pads were worn uneven though. Don't think the last set were tappered they were just v thin on the OS inside pad.

Thats how it was on mine, one pad was worn more than the other!

heat and airflow me thinks.

Apparently Brembo do service kits? Anyone know if they are available through Seat (For the ICR)?

On the Leon Cupra R and Ibiza Cura R they were standard, UK cars are different spec that the rest of Europe though.

thank heavens seat uk are based in MK...land of roundabouts and heavy braking.

I think there ok now! Changed my brake fluid (which was dark yellow and all sh!ty) and feels alot better now!

did you have the resevoir(sp) lid off when you wound the piston back in?goes in a hell of alot easier with that off .

No

there was me expecting flames

 

[YerMother]

But it was stiffer than the other and there was the even pad wear, but think that may be down to my cooked fluid! might check tomorrow see if they are still wearing unevenly!

Bill, dragging up a very very old thread here.

I'm having this problem. My inside pads are wearing at twice the rate of my outer pads.

The car has done 1 track day and gets used as a fast road toy more than anything.

I've warped 2 sets of EBC discs now so they're being changed for a 2pc setup.

I've ordered a caliper service kit to replace the balance bar on the bottom along with new discs and pads all round. Is there anything else I should be looking at?

It's both calipers and I don't want to ruin £600+ of new brakes with this issue still going on.

Your help and advice would be really appreciated.
