Hi all.
I have a brand new C5 500 that I've just finished running in. Yesterday (24th of July), the rear calliper seized on in the hot weather. It freed itself up as soon as it cooled down, but I'm going to strip and inspect it today.
Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a known fix? The only things I can think of it being are the piston seals or the pins. Whilst it was very hot yesterday, even a very large temperature change shouldn't cause the calliper to expand to the point of squeezing the pistons. Well, unless the brake is dragging, which is something else that I'm going to look into.
Anyway, if you have any thoughts or knowledge of this issue before I strip the calliper, I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
Matt
