    Vehicle : Vectra 1.9 cdti

    Trim : sri

    Engine : 1.9 150

    Year : 2005

    Mileage : 243,000

    Default 6 year old brake issue finally fixed....

    as said in the title....brakes always sticking ....so had changed calipers twice...pads and discs twice {3 times on front) new hoses, new pipes, new master cylinder, abs pump, brake fluid twice and vacuum pipes.....would be ok for a few days but sticky/ binding brakes would always come back.

    several garages looked and suggested all the bits mentioned but without fixing the issue and looking at me as if i was stupid when returned saying ...nope...still sticking!!

    NOT 1 GARAGE MENTIONED THE CALIPER SPRINGS!! THE GARAGES THAT REPLACED THE CALIPERS USED THE OLD SPRINGS AND CARRIERS!!!

    so for £2 a spring its fixed the issue.

    unfriggin real!!!!!

    It is always the little things that cause the most problems. I have just done my rear calipers but it came with new springs but if it didn't I would have changed it, 14 years of salted Scottish roads. Glad you got it sorted it.
