Gents,

Long time lurker here and now i'm the one with a problem.

As we all know the little fiats are not without their problems with especially the brakes. So, my Sei failed the Dutch MOT due to the fackt that the brakepads are rubbing too strongly to the disc and are dragging. The sei already has had new pads and calipers and the fact that both calipers show the same symptons indicates the problem is with sth else than those calipers. The rear brakes are, after 2 days of hard work, running freely. So, my question is this:
What defect shows these symptons? Brake hoses, brake booster, brake limiters or sth else?

Regards,

Larry
 
So, the brake hoses... i never would have come up with that. And two at the same time, just my type of luck.

Thanks!
 
Yea, that would kinda explain both front hoses going bad... well, parts ordered and after install ill let you know...
 
Well, in the end it turned out to be the how you call them... brake circuit dividers? Located on the Brake booster, there are two of them and one had a sticking valve. Replaced both for 16 euros (NK) but they weren't plug and pray so I had to cut some metal away from the holding bracket.
New Ferodo pads and new discs and its good now. Must be, only the brake booster isnt new..
On to lowering and installing new shocks.
