1 Brake Disc Caliper problem of the 2013 Volkswagen Golf

Failure Date: 09/10/2014

The rear brakes (mainly driver side) on my 2013 sportwagon tdi, are sticking bad. . Mileage has dropped 10 mpg-ish, and they are really emitting quite a bit of heat. . So obviously the brakes are sticking, but I cant find the reason. . . I asked the dealer if they could take a look. And they said that it just needs new pads and the caliper sliders greased. So I had them all replaced. It seemed to be better getting normal mileage and less heat and now a couple days later its back to sticking. Took the center console apart to see if there was a bias in the cables showing a stuicky cable or something and I could see they were dead even. . . Went away for some time and now its back again. .
