Im no expert on rear disc brakes but from my problems with my drums (on a
different car with simular system as VW disc's) having the same problem, you
need to tear it down and check the mechanism itself to be sure it isnt
frozen. (Im thinking you did this already and its still doing it?) If that
doesnt work, try new brake hardware. Sounds funny, but it worked for me!
