Sergio Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Guys, Just had the rear disc conversion from a GTI onto a 1.4 and now having some trouble where it seems the rear brakes are sticking on... Could this be a) broken calipers or brake compensator due to coming off an ABS model onto a non-ABS model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_VW Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I did the conversion didn't have to mess about with any compensaotors or anything, straight swap. I would think to check the pistons aren't stuck (I just had some that failed) and would also check the sliders so the piston can move back. To think of it...has the handbrake been fitted correctly and adjusted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi James,Thanks for your reply. Turns out it was the calipers, replaced them and no longer binding now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
