I have a problem with the front brakes on my 5ktq.

[Jörgen Karlsson]

When the engine compartment temperature is high the brakes will not releast
properly, when this happens the brakes will of corse be very hot and the
pads and discs expand even further. Yesterday I had to stumble in to a gas
station at full throttle and full boost to keep the speed abouve 30! After
letting the underhood temp cool down for half an hour the brakes worked as
usuall. I have tried to leave the bonnet closed at these times, then it
takes a very long time before the brakes work again, I guess that the ABS
unit is causing the problems... Any other ideas?


Since I have had to disable the ABS earlier because of its less then optimal
performance on bumpy roads I can just as well do away with the entire ABS
system. Has anyone done this while keeping the same master cylinder? Where
is the brake assist connected?

Thanks in advance,
