Slow release with brakes
Posted: 07 Oct 2023, 14:40
Hello,
Braking system on my Flavia was completely refurbished before registering the car on 2017. Well, almost completely, because the valve assembly was only painted and booster was put back together with original diaphragm. All other parts were dismantled, cleaned, and put together with new seals. There has been absolutely no issues until now. The issue is, that the brakes release slowly after applying brakes - the harder the braking, the more pronounced is this "binding," taking 1-2 seconds until the brakes are completely released. It is clearly induced by the hydraulic system, because there is no binding with the calipers (well, except for little chirping sound when turning to right, appeared this year as well) and in no moment is the car pulling to any direction.
The brake fluid has been replaced every two years, and there has been no loss of brake fluid or any other troubles. Well, possibly the assisting effect of brake booster has been less than before, but that is difficult to say without any comparison.
Winter hibernation is coming, so there would be time to order parts, if required. Anyone, who has had same issue and found a solution?
BR,
Miika
