- I picked up a cheap runaround vw golf mark 5 and unfortunately one of the calipers was seized, so I replaced it but it wasn’t as straight forward as I would’ve liked, hopefully you benefit from my mistakes enjoy peace.

Well done young man ! I liked the way you were explaining every step you were working.
Excellent job, and excellent video. Also fab tip about getting those 2 replacement hoses. I'm doing the same job at the weekend and will get the hoses in advance as I expect to have the same problem. Thanks very much 👍
Some calipers don't have the little metal pipe to join the brake hose to the caliper. Instead, the flexible brake hose has a banjo coupling that goes directly into the caliper. In that case the job is a bit easier. But take care to ensure the banjo coupling is correctly aligned.
Had same problem dude....had to push piston out of calliper and found it was rusted in shaft so had to renew the whole calliper....well done.
Yep dont even try changeing calipers on these without them new pipes. I learnt the hard way lol i made my own but u can buy premade from many motor factors and amazon
Had this same problem on my mk5 golf. Really important to change brake fluid every 2 years as recommended preventing moisture in the braking system which will hasten the corrosion on the brake lines.
Thought you would have renewed the the discs as well, they look shot 😱
Thanks for the video really helps
very good info thanks job well done....
Am having the same issue with my Jetta . not sure why there these are so complicated, hope I can also do it in a budget
By the look of those brake pads, I´m guessing the slider pins are probably in need of some tlc, definitely should of pulled those out and re-greased while you were in there ..
Cheers for this.
how did you fix the parking brake? did you have to adjust the piston? I changed the rear brakes and after that I don't have hand brakes because the piston doesn't come out enough and the parking brake handle has a lot of movement like yours
Do you not need some thread locker on the caliper nuts?
I budy that copper pipe is not just a dealer part u can get it from a half decent parts shop/motor factor they make it up for u but u have to bend it to shape I've done it a few times by hand.an price wise 4 pounds max yes!! Really. you thank me later 🙂
Those discs are shot. Should have replaced them while you had everything off. Cheap as chips for these cars. Those pads should go in easy, file the area not just wire brush.
Where are based brother
