I tried replacing the rotors and pads (and sensors) myself. I spent all day trying to bag out the pins for the front caliper pad retention. I could not bag it out. I got the top pin out with no problem, but the bottom on both sides were seized. I then took it to VW to get them fixed, and they said they also could not bag out the pins, so they recommended to replace both front Calipers. 1500 bucks!
