Td5 Brakes Binding

(1/3) > >>

diggerdog36:
My 2000 Td5 has a problem with the front left brake.  Its binding on.  Ive changed the disks and pads (incase they were warped) changed the caliper incase it was seized.  But the problem persists.  The wheel bearing is fine, car pulls to the left and when I dont use the brakes on a journey, the left is really hot and the right is cold (as I would expect). 
Has anyone experienced this before???

Any suggestions will help.  Please not "Torch it" "scrap it"!!!

Hightower:
I've had this happen on mine as well.  To fix it I rebuilt the caliper with new pistons/seals/etc which sorted it.

As you've changed the entire caliper I'm surprised that you've still got a problem.  Could be that you've got another duff caliper . . . .

diggerdog36:
No, the caliper was brand new and working, the pistons were free to move.  Im baffled!!

Hightower:
Is the caliper free to move on the guide pins?

If they are okay then I'm at a loss as well :?

diggerdog36:
I took the guide pins out and cleaned them and put on the little bag of grease I got with them, even though they were OK, I was just clutching at straws!!!
