Hey all, I just got my brakes and rotors replaced, and they're saying my fronts are dragging. Said it either has to do w/ the traction controll or the ABS. Every ear of this before? Might my pads or rotors bee too wide? Is there a reset I need to do?

And for the time being, can I just turn off the TC or pull the fuse to ABS?

Thanks!

 

I'd be asking for my old rotors and pads to be put back on, a refund and would be finding a new place to take it.

 

Guy says it has something to do w/ the vlaves in the trac. control or ABS and they need to be bled w/ a special tool? Says it's a "mechanical hydraulics" issue and I'd need to take it to a Jag dealer to get it fixed...

 

Was it doing it before? If not have them put your old stuff on and refund your money. They should not be touching brakes if they cannot work on them.

Only special tools for bleeding an X type brake system is the right wrenches and a method for bleeding. Bleeding itself will not fix draging brakes IMO calipers aren't returning properly.

Now if you have a warning code for something and did before you took it in then its your problem.

 

I agree with benebob on this one. Doesn't sound to me like he knows what he is doing. Did they remove, clean, and lubricate the caliper slider sleeves when doing the job?

 

What, as opposed to all the other times you disagree with me.

 

LOL...well what am I supposed to do when you beat me to the reply every time?

 

The answer is bad brake booster. LOL

 

And was it bad before you took it in? They don't just go bad from changing pads.

 

The dealer said it was "squishy." Said there was no external damage to the boster, tho.
