i have the same thing on mine, with rear disks & MKIV calipers, it stops on a dime
Pros: stops on a dime
Braking is sure, thanks to large four-piston calipers all around, though the pedal effort is not as progressive as I'd like.
Pros: sure braking
Cons: pedal effort not progressive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I had this problem with my 90 GLI. It was the parking brake mechanism on the caliper of the right rear wheel. It had seized, not allowing the caliper to release when I released the parking brake lever. I had to replace the caliper.
Pros: prevent rotor damage
Cons: caliper seized
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
ultimately you will need a new caliper, because the parking brake mechanism ins't rebuildable by itsself. It's a common vw problem, actually, both my parking mech's are seized. just don't use the e-brake. and don't buy a rebuilt caliper - they never last.
Cons: parking mech's are seized
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
