update on my car brake situations
already change the o-ring on the front wheel...but,it still hot...got the piston brake out and servis it...put it back again..bleed..test about 2 kilometers...and it is hot..very hot...cant even touch the rim..

even change the rubber in the brake pump..and still not solving the problem..is it because the brake disc is too bengkok?fed-up already la..thought of buying new caliper or brake disc..any suggestions??

ya..i only change the o-ring..still the old caliper...no money la..i think the caliper is ok...because already service it and the caliper is function properly..

 

[vestax]

dude , you change to a new service kit or only o ring ?. did you see them brush away the rust inside the caliper ?. once you had done it , shouldn't be a problem , unless they didn't insert in properly .

if bleeding is not done properly , it won't lock up the brakes , it makes the pedal soft / spongy and there is no brake feel , but right now your not facing that problem right .

did you see them putting any high temp grease or any grease to the caliper sliders ?. cause if the slider is rusted , it won't slide smoothly and may get stuck . so ask them to check if the sliders can move around or not and ask them to put some grease .

Hmmm, did they bleed from the caliper furthest from the master cylinder 1st then work towards the nearest, LR->RR->LF->RF.

Also do make sure not to let the reservoir or master cylinder run dry of brake fluid & if they do it the manual way, remember to press the pedal firmly down once only. Hold it with the same pressure till it sinks down while bleeding and repeat till all air are purged & pedal is nice to the feel. :)

will go to other foremen today..will make sure he do it in the right way...

 

[gsr]

hmmm but like what vestax mentioned, bleeding will not really solve it if it's caliper piston seized problem.

happened once to my left rear till disc was all blue and pad almost smoking. changed it with a service kit & put some hi-temp lithium grease and woalah fixed.

what do they have in the service kit?piston brake o-ring?or complete set??

 

[gsr]

mine was just the seal/o-rings

 

[reddice]

already go to the foremen yesterday..

problem : NOT SOLVE !!!
i only have 2 option now :
1 : replace disc brake
2 : replace 1 more stuff (dont know what la,my mechanic say)

if my disc is too bengkok,can it cause this??i already change almost 80% of my brake disc component..if this is because of the disc,so better i change the disc..no need to change the stuff (that my mechanic says)

 

[SiGNAL]

This is why I dont like DIY. LOL Just go buy vr4 twin pot lar, better braking power and upgrade your current brake. :P

 

[badguy]

how's the status??

 

[reddice]

after a lot of "susah-payah,
the problem setteled !!!thanks god.

the poblem is : my ABS is jammed !!proton ABS only.not the real ABS.

the mechanic found the problem and cure it..and he says my disc is ok..no bent.the disc vibrate is because of the ABS function.

thanks to all that help.Very appreciate it..thanks..guys,if you have ABS system,make sure you bleed it too..(mechanical ABS).dont be like me.. ;)

 

[badguy]
