I have been fit new pads and disc front of my Punto, after drove 12 miles start smell funny out of my air conditioning, I stopped and look what is wrong with my engine it wasn't and I see white smoke out of my passenger side front wheel and I feel the heat is absolutely so hot!
I had to return back home! and look into it again and I have found that the caliper piston rubber seal had a hole which the damp have gone in and rusty the caliper piston cylinder.
I have remove the caliper piston, clean it with brake fluid and try to remove the lump rusty on the surface it become nice smooth and refit back in. Put all the pads back in and drove it was fine but when I apply the brake first time since refit it becomes difficult to acceleration like I was hold the brake at the same time as the acceleration!
Are the piston in caliper are suppose to move back in when release the brake pedal? do you think need new caliper? the new pads and disc it can't be a faulty?
Any suggest what is wrong please let me know cos I am confused why is stuck again after I have clean it.
