Golf mk7 / Re: Seized rear caliper

Binding like you describe will be a piston that isn't retracting, but sliders can also contribute to poor brake performance. Pistons and sliders dry out if not maintained, or if the right grease is overlooked. Usually, people that change discs and pads for you omit the basic maintenance tasks that prevent such issues, like greasing or wire brushing as required. Time is money for garages ofc.

I assume you can't rotate the wheel freely - is your disc wearing on both sides or just one? The sliders on mine were lazy, which are easily done without retracting the parking brake, but you can grease the piston whilst being able to manipulate it. Put grease in there and exercise it in/out a few times and it should come back to life. All my calipers are original except one which VW snapped a bleed nipple off of. Make sure your pads fit well too, if you have to hammer them out it's usually indicative something needs a fettle.

The ED50 will only be 1000 in the uk it’s 100% a limited car

Wonder if it will get that high! TCR was also sub 1000 before the run ended but not numbered like the 50 looks to be.

Do you have access to an OBD dongle?

This way you can switch it off or more precisely switch it to remember your last setting which would be OFF.
Every time the car starts then it starts in the off position.

Cannot be done with the 8.5 unfortunately. It's all locked down.

And no, I don't think you can add lane assist to the shortcuts on top either. They did recently add the ability to toggle off the speed-warning bongs to that shortcut list but it requires an infotainment software update (or a new car!) to get it.

Golf mk8 / Annoying Lane assist
« Last post by valentino on 21 April 2026, 11:15 »
When i got my car (8.5 gti) the stop/start was in the favourites on the top line, so can very conveniently switch it off quickly as soon as i start the car.
How do you get the lane assist in to the favourites on the top line so that can be switched off in the same way?
Thanks.
