#1: GTi 180 Rear caliper problems Author: sri16v, Location: WalesPosted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 1:30 pm ---- Noticed the other day when pulling off that if felt like my rear offside brake was sticking slightly, fast forward to today when I can smell the brakes being hot after only completing a short, journey.
Could feel the heat coming off the brake assembly and noticed the outside pad has worn nearly all the way down, now I only changed these pads and discs on the rear in July so obviously something is amiss as the otherside has a lot more life.
Most likely to be a sticking handbrake mechanism? or the cable itself, or the caliper?
If its the caliper how much am I looking for a replacement, and do I require peugeot planet to bleed the new caliper?

Yep wound all the way back in with the correct tool, did this job back in the summer, Ive had a look tonight and the handbrake cable seems to be moving free enough, so Ive wound back the cable adjustment a touch.
Im guessing its going to be the caliper causing the problem, although the piston wound back nice and freely at the time i carried out the replacement
