Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarChanged the rear brake pads on the #CrossGolf. Bit of a struggle getting the low profile bolts off on one side. Someone had already tried and mangled them and either given up or put the mangled ones back (they cost cents, grr).
Disc is fine. Guide rods lubed (they needed it).
But there's also some problem with the handbrake not 100% releasing pressure on the piston. Which, after some research, appears to be a common Volkswagen problem with those calipers where the lever/shaft on the rear gets stuck with rust.
So either rebuild the caliper (need at least a super deep locking ring pliers and seal kit) or just buy new caliper (aftermarket not nearly as expensive as I thought).
And a bleed kit (or cowboy it).
Grumble.
Every day I bask in my own stuand others that don't as well as inside diameters of the hose on the CAC side ( which you can't get unless you strip the car as if you would to replace it ) and on the flap-air intake so if you need the part numbers, to check the part(s) before buying it, with a #caliper on hand, feel free to reach out.
Also depending if you have the one with the hole in the hose to fit the boost pressure sensor or if like me you have the sensor on the intake manifold after the flap-air intake.

If the shipping cost does not severely escalates the total cost, return policy does.
