on the brakes, I had an issue with bleeding the brakes of a Golf rear calliper since the bleeding valve was not at the highest point, some air was left into the system. I had to bleed it, with the caliper rotated, and a dummy disk in between to get rid of all the air.

how are the break lines? I assume all calipers are moving free enough? could it be that the master brake cylinder is leaking and catching air e.g. did you check on the brake pads? there are not glazed e.g.?

Thanks for the tips!
Pads on the left side were overheated a few years ago and some glazing occurred, but the ANWB guy removed the top layer and they were fine after. That was also the reason to overhaul the brakes and the pistons move freely. The bleeding nipples on the calipers are the highest point, so bleeding them should be fine, but I could try to mimic your trick and see if that helps.
Master brake cylinder and brake lines are something I can check tomorrow as well.
