rear brake caliper sticking - golf vr6


Recommended Posts

hi guys when i release the handbrake the rear offside caliper seems to stay on a bit, after a while the disk will start to glow red a bit after driving. ive released the handbrake cable completely from this side and its still doing it. is it a case of a new caliper and thats it? regards

You can get some springs for an Altea that will slot on holes (with a tiny amount of adjustment and persuasion of the spring) that are already there on the calliper and handbrake arm.

Mine were sticking on slightly and I would have to flick them down with my finger from underneath, these have sorted it right out for about a fiver.
