Seized Callipers? - How to Diagnose?
Discussion
I've left my Z4M sitting for a few months and noticed the front left brakes are quite hot and squeaking at low speeds.
I assume this is a seized calliper, can this happen from letting a car sit for an extended period of time?
Before I go ahead and replace both front callipers, are there any quick or easy wins that I can try as a DIY solution?
Also noted that since I've owned the car, the brake pedal can be pushed to the floor with the engine on, could this point to a slow failure elsewhere, perhaps a master cylinder issue?
Would like to try and diagnose it properly so I don't end up just chucking parts at the car so any guidance would be much appreciated.
