Martin,
I know some have recommended the "all in one" cube.  I recommend for the 
extra $40, from the toolwarehouse, the "proper" caliper kit.  It will 
include proper adapter for most Audis/VW's and other popular imports. While 
the cube has its place, I tried it on pretty new Jetta calipers.  As you may 
know you have to turn while placing a good amount of pressure on the puck.  
Good luck with this tool and a sticky caliper.  (and what used calipers 
aren't?)  It is very difficult to get the required leverage with the cube, 
though obviously others have who recommended it.  Pay up andf you will have 
a quality tool for many applications that is quicker/easier to use.
Mike

        I have acquired a set of s4/S6/V8 rear Girling calipers to install 
on
my 83 UrQ. Can anyone please tell me how the cylinders should be retracted,
for handbrake adjustment, as there are not the usual VW/Audi large hex key
recesses but only a pair of triangular 'notches' diametrically opposed on 
the
circumference of the cylinders? Is there a recommended VW/Audi/Girling tool 
or
do
I need to make my own?
