recently replaced front rotors, pads and calipers, now the front left pad drags getting very hot, this seems to happen much faster when the outside temperature is higher. goes back to normal after cooling. Master cylinder is not over filled.

Hi there,

make sure that all the components are installed correctly, make sure caliper is releasing pressure, if not check for a restricted brake hose holding pressure, do this first.
