Hi Guys,
I wonder if any of you can shed any light on a problem we've got with the RS2.
A week or so back the car started normally and ran through the self check OK. Pulled away from the drive, turned right (applied the brakes lightly at this point) and then within a 10-15yards it felt like the near side rear brake had come on fully of its own accord. Brakes were fully applied and released but on pulling forward it came on again. Had great difficulty turning the car round and limping the 100yards home. The ABS light came on.
Car is currently at the garage. So far, they've had the rear brakes apart and checked pistons and calipers so it isn't the normal corrosion problem with the Porsche calipers. Pads on handbrake have been replaced as they were worn. Cables are free.
Rear diff has been drained as garage advised by local gearbox specialist that there was sometimes a problem with metal getting into fluid. Again no problem. Has also been suggested that gearbox is drained.
Garage have also spoken to the guy who serviced it for previous owner. He couldn't shed any light on problems although he had cleaned up rear calipers etc a couple of years ago when they were found to bind.
Fault hasn't occurred whilst garage have had car - but isn't that always the way!
Nothing has showed up when garage checked fault codes!
Any ideas?
