EDIT we don't send these for repair, we just buy the repair kit direct from TPS, the new units are pre filled and less susceptible to bleeding issues.
The trick is to remove the rear calipers, wind the pistons back with the bleed nipple released, then bleed the brakes while tilting the caliper so the bleed nipple is at the highest point.
Also advisable to do this when replacing the rear calipers - They don't trap air every time, but when they do it's mildly annoying stripping again to do what you know you should have done after being bitten once before by this exceptional design.
This is a known issue with Golf 5/6 based variants.
This is assuming you've attempted all known options with diag equipment etc.
When replacing the teves MK60 unit, if you clamp the pedal in position after pressing until pressure is just felt & pop bleed nipple rubbers over the pipes as you remove them, minimum bleeding time is necessary and sanity is conserved.
