Braaaakes

Id be lucky to lose an egg cupfull of fluid removing all 4 even, but that trick i cannot take out of the vault im afraid its just one of those ones , gained from the guru who taught me and i use it every time and seriously i remove a flexi and get as much as a drip but respect the need to keep it. Ok anyway for those losing fluid or clamping pipes and the likes like the abs pump you do have to use VCDS on Mk4 Mk5 and 6, and this gets bled with 2 nipples open at a time and you go through buckets of fluid but has to be done to follow the procedure correctly, but changing fluid service fashion doesnt need this so dont make things harder than they are. Ill post up the "2" procedures later on got xmas stuff on.
Stay tuned for that

O.K. Jimmy me will wait to see the next episode as I'm thinking of changing to braided lines.
Had no probs when I changed the calipers but the lines will be different, will a power bleeder help me.

While on here about brakes, whats the best lastest on braided lines & 2 piece 312 x 25mm rotors.
I'm not real happy with the Racingbrake rotor @ the moment, they work great & cool, but after less than 10,000km's
they have some probs, Racingbrake have offered half $'s replacement on the ring, but. but. but, me ain't too sure.

Has that cracked through?

I'd steer away from drilled rotors entirely but that's just me. Look at slotted rotors if you must have some kind of surface detailing, Alcon do a good slotted rotor that doesn't remove much of the rotor face so you still get a good clamping area between pad and rotor.

Am I missing something, or are these the completely wrong pad... spraycanmansam's Library | Photobucket


New pad on bottom

Certainly not like the Polo ones I have in my cupboard Sam.

If you need some for tomorrow I have some remsa at home.

EDIT Glad I checked mine are the same "wrong" ones.

Reading the box carefully, they are for 280mm discs.

Wow, that's super embarrassing. How did we send the wrong pads twice when we do hundreds (literally) of Polo GTi's a year...

We did have a sales person who was only with us for a few months and has recently left so I'm guessing he's stuffed it up twice.

Will get both you guys sorted out ASAP!!

Outstanding service from you boys!!!! Matt going up the coast in the morning is doing the swap. Fantastic

Would have come to light sooner, if I hadn't been such a tightwad and re-used the original pads on some other discs I had.

Cheers

These rotors are forged with slotted & drilled in one which is one of there several patents.
