Hello
I have an issue with one site of my rear brake having the symptom of sticking.
Roter getting very hot compared to the other side. Even hotter than the front brakes.
The sticking is not to the point where you can’t turn the wheel when jacked up. It run by itself a couple of rounds, but you can hear it being dragged a little.
Caliper are with electronic parking brake function
When first notice I chance the Roter and brake pads. The caliper looked fine and in "brake pads replacement state" the caliper returned without any issue.
Slider and the slate have been cleaned and lubricated with grease.
After a couple of drive, I notice they still got hot.
I took another look at the caliper and descended that I would change it, because it look like the gasket were damage.
I have change caliper before on other VW, so pretty standard job. Only different on the MK7 is the connection for the break hose, sins they use single screw instead of turning the hole break hose.
An to clear out no clamp were used on the break hose.
At first I thought the caliper change did the trick because it looked like they didn’t get hot anymore, but now I have change to summer tires and yet again I notice they get hot.
again I have pushed the caliper back just to be sure it were not an calibration issue ore somethink like that and the slide, slate, brake pads and roter all cleaned and lubricated.
After this I went for test drive and looking at my mile consument it looked like something had change for the better, but when I got home I check the hotness of the roter and it were still very hot compared to the other side.
I feel like I am missing something and hope for some advice
