300TDI pulling to left

shaunm41 · Feb 19, 2010

Hi, Noticed today my disco is pulling to the left under braking.. What could cause this?? Also noticed last few weeks after drive from work, all hard up hill pulls, i get a strong kinda clutch burning smell... But its an auto.... Any ideas???

Thanks
Shaun

i think its your brakes

i would say you got one stuck on and maybe one stuck open im guessing the ones at the front as its pulling.

i usualy strip them, hone and reseal and put stainles pistons in them, make sure you put the seals in the correct way or they will leak or let dirt in, i would guess you will need new discs if you can smell burning clutch

Cheers, I will check the N/S tomorrow then.. I had the pads out on the O/S last weekend and copper greased the backs to stop a squeek.. the pads and disk on that side were all fine...

You should have also checked the pistons in the caliper .. mine regularly (about once a year) stick, just needs a refurb kit normally, but this year I'll get new calipers ..
