Hi
I'm new here (on behalf of my farther who ones the IS200)
He has a binding brake on the F/N/S. He felt that at junctions/pulling off it was a bit resultant, and then felt it was running a lot hotter than the O/S.
I found a few posts on the search and it seems to be a bit of an unknown - on how to cure it.
At the weekend we stripped down that brake, cleaned it all up (the pistons seemed v.hard to get back) and instantly it improved. About 50 miles later it is running hotter - but not as hot.
I'm not new to this problem myself I had it on one of my old cars (a Peugeot 306-Gti6). The problem in the end was the master cylinder not releasing on that brake, but that wasn't found until after a new brake caliper, which in turn was again knackered from it running hot and melting the seals.
I have read on here that others that have had this problem have had Lexus fit a new caliper but with no success (and a lot of cost)
Can anyone add to this, or point out something else it might be - I wondered if there is some bits/dirt in the fluid (it was changed back in the summer at lexus)?
Thanks in advance.
Kevin.
