    Parking brake issues after rear pad change

    I recently changed my rear pads about 2-3 weeks ago, used VCDS etc and all seemed to go smoothly at the time. Now though it seems that the drivers side caliper piston doesn’t seem to be totally disengaging and this is causing major friction and heat on the disc. I can pull away etc, but after...

Has anyone every primed and sprayed their window chrome black? IF anyone knows of anyone...
