Re: [Mk2] [NA] frozen rear brakes
Not had this prob yet... couldn't get the door open the other morning tho.. thought the handle was gonna come off at one point!
Was so much fun running in and out the house with hot water trying to get the thing to open.. and I'm *always* late for work as it is

Leave your engine on, go inside and have a cuppa or six.
