Brake problems
Hello I have a renault clio mk2 09 reg and I replaced the rear wheel cylinder on one side and the shoes on both back , and the pads on the front , I have a problem where the brakes stay on after using and go on tighter and tighter I have bleeded the system and greased the caliper pins but potentially the piston its self is stuck and comes back out slowly ? Im not sure but it ends up that all four brakes stick on unless you put air in the lines this car has been parked up and its doing me head in
what do you guys think it is ? It also has the ABS light back on along with the service light and passenger light but these 3 lights are related to the breaking

Re: Brake problems
I would have a diagnostic to see what is wrong since the abs light is on.
What do you mean by put air in the lines ?

Re: Brake problems
Initial thought is a fault in the master cylinder not allowing the pressure to release in the brake lines when you release the pedal! 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
