I am not familiar with Daewoo or for that matter servo brakes but Im pretty sure this would help.

The brake Master cylinder needs a bit of adjustment, thats it........

Btw do all four wheels go hot?? Im guessing the rears also start to heat up but are not checked much as the fronts are hotter......

Just ask ur mechanic to turn the setting on the actuating rod (the rod which goes into the master cylinder and acts as a piston for the fluid....) a little down ie it shud be a little OUT of the cylinder. Hope u follow.

The problem is being caused by a blocked 'compensating port' in th emaster cyl. This is a small hole which allows brake fluid to escape back into the reservoir.......when u apply brakes the brake fuid gets heated up n thus expands....simple physics.....the port allows the extra volume to flow back and thus prevents brake lockup which shows up as heated wheels.

Other causes of a blocked compensating port include very dirty brake fluid clogging up the said port and a couple of rare possibilities.

But the setting is the first thing to check and very easy to fix.

Best of luck!

Regards.
