My previous Mk5 golf and A3 8p suffered from seized rear calipers, pretty common on that era of vag cars. How do I go about preventing it on my Mk6 gti - cleaning and lubing up the slider pins or does it require a clean out of the piston itself? Or will none of these help!
When it happened to mine I just went on eBay and got a new (red too) set for £120 so spending time and money preventing it wouldn’t have been cost effective
Its the internals that seize isn't it? Not much you can do really, keep sliders lubricated and maybe don't run the pads too low so less piston is exposed.

This. With these calipers it seems the cure is cheaper than prevention
