seized caliper

I've just had a front caliper seize on a K4. The disc got really hot, actually went purple and is now a straw colour. Can anyone answer, should the disc and pads be changed?

If the disc is warped you should replace it. If it is still true, it will be fine, & the discoloration will wear off with time. The pads however should be changed. Be wary of using EBC pads. They have been known to eat discs, & so could prove to be costly in the long term.
