sticky c5 brakes
hi lads.changed the front pads on my c5 the other day.now when the car is coming to a stop,i can find the brakes sticking ever so slighty.is this normal or is there something wrong?
Are you dead sure its the brakes sticking ?
There is a slight possibility that it may be the adjustment of your handbrake that causes this.
You are aware that the caliper pistons must be screwed - not pressed - into the caliper bore when making space for the new thicker pads ?

Also there is a fairly complex procedure for bleeding the brakes. I understand that winding the calipers back can adversly affect the ABS if the correct procedure isn't followed. I have an idea that a Lexia has to be used to release a valve to allow reverse flow through the ABS system. Not 100% sure on this - I let my local Citroen magician take care of it.
If only they had stuck to proper Citroen brakes
