Was the problem there before all of the changes ?
Is it both brake pads on each of the problem brakes or only 1 ?
If only 1 pad, it could be a sticking / misaligned caliper or caliper carrier.
If both, potentially pressure is being trapped in the brake system & not be released to the reservoir.
If you take a wheel off on each of the problem corners can you force the piston in so that fluid returns to the reservoir ?
If not, maybe the mastercylinder is faulty or the brake servo or brake pedal is stuck down.
PS I should have started with a different question : Do you have the ability to work on your own car ?
If not, you will have significant problems with this type of issue. It requires logical fault finding skills that any "good" garage should have (but many do not !). However, it could be expensive as it may require a lot of time to work through the potential causes.
Many garages lose interest in this type of problem because the believe the owner will not pay the full amount for all of the labour time involved.
Dear Paul,
thanks a lot for your questions and support.
It is both brake pads on each of the brakes.
The pressure measure as well as the infrared temperature measurements after test drives where perfect.
Yes, I can force the pistons in, and the fluid returns to the reservoir.
No, it is not the mastercylinder, we double checked that, the brake servo as well as the brake pedal work as the should.
I can work on my car, but I'm not an expert. Such a complicated issue is for me to search for the needle in haystack.
So, I pendent of some professional mechanics. Thanks for the note, that it could be expensive to find the fault. I hope it will not be the case... let's cross fingers.
Again, I appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you
