After 3k in costs total and the car was still broken. The car was finally FIXED!!! One of the joyous moments of my life, as sad as it sounds it felt rewarding fixing something many professionals could not. Secondly, this seizure may be caused by bad caliper pins.
When this happens, you are likely to feel as though the brakes are applied or the car may refuse to move at all. We looked at blueprints etc and we both came to the conclusion that it seems something is wrong with the "MASTER CYLINDER" So we went to work and removed and lifted what was needed and replaced the Master Cylinder. Firstly, if your vehicle caliper is seized, it may be due to the vehicle being abandoned without use for a long time. then we turned into engineers (even though we are not lol). Only to find that no one on the internet reported a similar problem. So It was up to me and my buddy who knew only what he self taught himself ( I didn't know anything about Fixing Cars) We went to work doing hours of research on the issue. I brought it to 2 over non VW auto shops. It was the most frustrating auto problem I've ever dealt with. None could find the source of my problem. The computer will not recognize this problem, as I went to 4 different VW certified repair shops.
The damaged caliper is causing that wheel to travel slower than the others. As this occurs, the vehicle begins to pull to the side where the brakes are engaged. This issue leads to a brake pad that always drags on the rotor. And my brakes would lock up on me and I would continue to drive. A seized brake caliper doesn’t automatically retract itself. Look into the "Master Cylinder" I owned an 03 VW Passat. With this question I'm looking to elicit technical reasons for what could be causing one of the brakes to bind. The brakes were fine prior to the servicing and brake hardware refresh, so what could possibly have happened to cause one of the brakes to stick like that?Ĭould the presence of excessive brake fluid explain this? I'm reluctant to believe that the caliper failed at the same time the brake hardware was upgraded.īy suggesting the ABS unit, I believe they're simply insuring themselves against liability claims in the future ("we told you so"). Having ruled that out as a possibility, they are now recommending to have the caliper replaced, and if that doesn't fix it the ABS unit as well - all at my expense. The dealership called to check if we had experienced sticky brakes in the past. In a post-replacement test drive the dealership discovered that one of the sides has a stuck caliper, and the brake doesn't want to let go. Took my 2006 VW Touareg in for servicing and had the dealership replace the rear brake pads and discs.
