ddcboyle Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 after not driving car for 2days, after i started it up and started to accelerate, it jolted as if the brakes had been ceased up. i understand this happens if the car hasnt been used for a few weeks. but 2days? happened a few times so far Quote
Ekona Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Seized, not ceased. No biggie, but they do mean different things and it took me a while to work out what you meant. It can happen, but you may have early onset of a failed or sticky caliper. Quote
SteveW Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) I get this after washing the car or heavy rain, the discs and pads corrode together. It only started happening since putting hi metal content pads on. One clunk and away Edited April 19, 2013 by SteveW Quote
BulletMagnet Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Re bedding in the brakes usually helps me, as a layer of brake pad material is on the disc after Quote
ddcboyle Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 ill try just hard breaking, see if i can get some or the corrosion off. my bad about the typo Quote
