I just finished my MKIV Roadster and I noticed that in the morning (50F) when the car is on jack stands, I can spin all the wheels easily. However, when I come home and the ambient temperature is around (80F) the rear brakes are locked. Yesterday I took it on a test drive and I could feel the back brakes grabbing. I hurried home and the rears were smoking by the time I got in the garage. They stayed locked until this morning when the car rolls freely in the garage?? My mechanic friend suggested that I pump the brakes multiple times to see if they were building pressure and not releasing. I pumped the brakes over 20 times and the car rolled freely. However, when I get home tonight I bet the brakes are will be tight and the car will not roll. Any suggestions on troubleshooting the problem.
