Whilst driving, it came apparent that the front right brake was dragging in a big big way, I was on the motorway and couldn't pull over, when I finally did, smoke was pouring from the disc/pad area. After a bit of faffing, driving back and forward, pumping the brake - it seemed to clear. What the hell would cause this to happen?
It's really just an age-related service part... dust seal may have split, allowing dirt and water to build up around the piston and cause piston to bind. recently had to do my 2006 GTI https://clubgti.com/forums/index.php?threads/calliper-rebuild.291949/#post-2507869
