Caliper is actually new this past year, as is the disc and pads. Have had the same problem in previous years with the previous caliper, so I think rules it out. I’m thinking that it must be something related specific to the handbrake, as I can drive and brake without any problems. But that ilia my challenge- I’m not even sure where to start with figuring out where water might be ingressing or how to drive it out. :(

2010 Superb. Over the summer my AC started acting up, especially on hot days - would be OK in the AM, but on the drive home, would sometimes not kick in at all for 5-10 minutes and blast me with hot air Brought it in and they said the AC was low and recharged it. Afterwards I have noticed that while it no longer blows hot, for the first six minutes, it does not blow cold. Not great, but livable for a 10+ year old car. But now in the winter, I have noticed that I have the same delay before the defroster kicks in, which is more of a problem. I'm pretty sure that before this summer it would blow cold almost instantly and never had a fogging issue either. Anyone have a similar issue? Any ideas?

I just did mine at 175k km and 10 years. Old parts essentially looked brand new. Small amount of resistance in the water pump, but still very easily turnable by hand.

I have a 2010 Superb with a manual parking brake. Seems like anytime the temperature goes below freezing overnight, even by just a degree or two, the parking brake freezes. I've had this happen in older cars, and usually it will unstick after a few tens of meters or by some hard pulling and releases. Not so here. Pulling it just makes it tighter, and ended up driving 2km the other day and ended up with a glowing rear disc. Other than the obvious of not using the parking brake in the cold, does anyone have any ideas about how to prevent this?
