Malaka2 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Mark ii got some brake problem on all front and rear wheels, they seems to be heating more than normal.. And petrol consumption also low after this.. I jacked and try to spin the wheel, its hard to spin and disc touch the pads all the time with grip. What should I do?

What should I do? your brakes appear to be binding, could be any one of a number if issues from faulty ABS to stuck pistons in the calipers. Get it checked out at a good garage without delay.

MkX Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yes could be ABS system or faulty in master pump as the binding happens in all 4 disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should I do? 2 scenarios i can think of... you used to have brakes that bind, but now the brakes aren't working properly so it no longer locks properly hence giving lesser braking when needed and lesser resistence to movement (hence lower fuel consumption) Or do you mean fuel-efficiency is low? In which case its what the other boys just mentioned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
