Default 2008 brakes - does anyone have the answer?

Hi all, I've done the research, read the threads and am aware of the 2008 'brake' issues. But, last weekend I changed the disks, pads and calipers on the front of the T&C and they still overheat!! The driver side caliper had a fault that the dust seal around the piston was displaced and the piston exposed so was a little dirty. But that was all I found.

I bleed the front brakes and drove it for a few days and at first the disks got fairly hot but not excessive and no 'hot brakes smell' that I had before the change out. But now it is back!!

Someone must have a clue what is wrong with these vehicles?

Is it hydraulics i.e. ABS system?

Any thoughts?

Cheers, John
