New Brake Pads - Burning Smell

[vRS Carl]

Just had the rear pads replaced today on the Silver Slingshot.

Every time i stop now after even a short journey there is a strong burning smell and the rear wheels are hot compared to the front ones.

Is this normal and will go away after a couple of days or does it mean they bodged something and it could be the handbrake is stuck on slightly or something.

I'm taking it back to the garage in the morning but was wondering if anyone had experienced this before and had any suggestions so i dont make myself look like a tool in the morning

the rears dont do no where near as much braking as the ronts so no way should they be hotter.  is the piston sticking maybe??

[vRS Carl]

Dunno thats why im asking

I personaly wouldn't worry about it. It might be some excess grease burning off. It might be pad bedding in material doing it's thing on the front of the pad face

[vRS Carl]

The smell i wouldn't its just with the wheel feeling very warm

[JPC]

Is there any noise?

[vRS Carl]

Nope well not that i can hear anyway whilst driving around.

The car seems to drive ok and with it being DSG it creeps forwards when in drive without me touching the accelerator so wasn't sure about the handbrake being stuck

I really wouldn't worry about it. The bedding in material in most pads is designed to heat up to aid in bedding in.
