Thanks for all of the info. Car is vintage, but well cared for. Rear 
brakes-replaced calipers,pads,hub/rotor on 09/04. New seals (piston), guide 
pins lubed last year, 04/12.
I will check the piston/seal and try to loosen up the emergency actuating 
rod. I replace brake fluid almost every 3 years.
This Hawaii so very little rust and I live in a dry area.

Again thanks.
Al

I have seen many VAG products from this vintage with all kinds of crap(rust)
in the caliper bores.
Most people don't change brake fluid every 2-3 years, and this happens.
