brake binding after car wash

[karlabdool]

hi,

It seems that taking the car for a spin (all euros?) after a proper car/wheel wash is essential. I gave it a wash the other day and I went straight into the garage to dry it (didnt want to dirty it again because rain started) .

However, the next morning when i started and put in reverse i felt the brakes really stuck on , I had to use some revs to free it.

The rotor and pad material is so different to Japanese cars as i never had any dust or binding like this after a wash with my corolla.

Anyone else experience this?

Thanks
karl.

Normal. If you would've went out for a short drive and tapped the brakes before drying they wouldn't of stuck on.

ok cool thanks.

Yea i tried a quick brake in my driveway, but it wasnt enough, i didnt want to go out on the main road because it started to rain and the tyres would have thrown up dirt on the sides of the car.

Had it on my old 8P and also got it on my 8V
