Brake problems??
« on: March 24, 2012, 07:21:59 pm »
I have just returned from a sedate motorway trip of 50 miles and when washing my GTI I noticed steam coming off my rear passenger brakes.

I have also had a whistling noise the odd time from the rear on that side and when doing right hand corners.

Anyone advise me of my potential problem please? I hope it's not a major issue.

Thanks

Is that an easy fix?

Can it just be worked/greased etc?

Thanks
