edition 30 rear caliper
« on: July 06, 2017, 09:50:03 pm »
Hi all. New on here. I've got a edition 30. Just changed my rear pads on it. O/s winded back no problems but n/s as a got to bout half way went really stiff. I managed to get it back with force. Now I've started to notice brake dust build up just on that side. Even more than the fronts. What could this be cos I cleaned it all off before I rebuilt it. Maybe caliper is goosed.? Any ideas cheers Karl.

Sounds like the caliper is sticking or binding. Pretty common on the mk5 and currently what I'm going through  :grin:

New caliper time.  I wouldn't bother with a 'rebuild' kit on these, just get new ones.  Replace the other side as well because I guarantee it will go the same way soon after.
