Hi, I have a 98 306 GTi, Just before Christmas I replaced my rear brake pads and discs as the pads had worn down to the discs! But now the rear passangers side has worn the pads right down again! Nothing left! I made sure the piston was wound right back in when i replaced the pads? Cant work out why my pads have worn so quickly, just on one side? Help please!

Mayby need to look at the caliper to see if the sliders are goosed.If the sliders are jammed then this would hold the pad against the disc causing the wear you describe. i am no expert though. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

Could it be a sticking rear brake bias valve.  |

not really, that would affect both brakes, and tends to give lower rear braking pressure meaning the discs go rusty and the front brakes work harder.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Was it both pads on one side or just the outer? |
