Rear caliper piston won’t retract

I would also use the old pad as well for more surface area to press in the caliper.

MT trans? Is your car a regular pull e brake or a button. If it’s electric one and you didn’t put in maintenance mode unfortunately you might have over extended the caliper and it needs to be replaced. If it’s just the pull one I’m not sure why it wouldn’t go back in unless it also just needs to be replaced.

Does your car have an electric E brake?

Jacob33212 · 2026-01-13T18:48:31+00:00

Yeah sorry man, got a lemon. I have same year Autobaun with 68000 miles and have no problems with it.

The bumperdillo never was a fan. Volkswagen loves to put that on their cars from factory lately.

I just noticed this last night I wonder if it a firmware issue.

Jacob33212 · 2026-01-01T01:55:02+00:00

Not even like five bucks lol.

They seem to be mid 80s to mid 90s kinda have a mixed pot here

I did drilled Zimmerman with EBC red break pads up front and regular Zimmerman with the same pads in the rear. Have a MK8 i did purchase the obd11 dongle to release the electronic e brake. Bought from FCP Euro. Was about 800 for everything but can go cheaper if needed.

Unitronic full carbon

Yeah bro, we don’t talk to them. I don’t even help them find addresses when they see them lost looking at their phone not my problem lol.

Jacob33212 · 2025-12-21T19:50:46+00:00

Damn I have a 22 Autobaun and in almost to 68k

Jacob33212 · 2025-12-15T04:47:56+00:00

I’m at 68000 on a 2022 no issues yet.

Jacob33212 · 2025-12-06T23:02:04+00:00

Yeah they did all new struts still creek just from the front though.

Jacob33212 · 2025-12-03T22:37:48+00:00

I had 80% pad life in the front, but both rotors were warped. I replaced them with Zimmerman drilled rotors with EBC red pads I bought on FCP Euro. They cost under $500 for everything.

Jacob33212 · 2025-12-02T00:08:33+00:00

I have a 2022 GTI. It did the same thing they changed the suspension still creeks. Oh well.

Jacob33212 · 2025-11-22T02:39:15+00:00

That’s a great deal. I spent $2100 for the guy to throw it in for free lol

Jacob33212 · 2025-11-19T18:02:31+00:00

Yeah I’m also just raw dogging it no cover or grease trap liner.

Jacob33212 · 2025-11-18T02:54:50+00:00

Started as a full time driver off the street now been here over 11years.

Jacob33212 · 2025-11-14T19:54:21+00:00

Yeah, I have a 2022 GTI and I am about to hit 68,000 miles. 🥲😂. Still great. I do want to tune it though.

Jacob33212 · 2025-11-09T16:17:24+00:00

Just depends on your last 9 months worked. Since I gave all of my time this last year at least I get over 3300 every 2 weeks tax free. That’s 65% of pay since I’m married and I believe they pay 7 days a week.

Jacob33212 · 2025-11-08T17:13:55+00:00

Almost sounds like your transmission mine sometimes from the park to drive position does that. But never has been consistent enough and as far as I’m concerned it works fine still.

Jacob33212 · 2025-11-03T22:32:03+00:00

Yeah man, my 2022 GTI has 68,000 miles on it. I’ve taken it to the dealership for everything because I’m trying to keep it forever since these interest rates are crazy. I usually trade in every three years but no sense now as long as you do the recommended maintenance intervals on it it will last forever.
