What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[balkanac]

My new rotors and EBC redstuff pads just arrived from US!! Cant wait to get home to install them!!

[audi-tone]

Installed my yarrowsport rear brace. Makes a big difference. Compliments all the other mods that are already on the car. Looks awesome too.

my rotors and pads are now installed. Just breaking them in for now, but they already feel 10x better than mintex pads and worn out rotors

Got my Tyrolsport brake stiffening kit in the mail. just got to dig my new disks and pads out my lock up then on they'll go. Looking fwd to having so nice new brakes on there.
What procedure you using for braking in you disks and pads ?

[balkanac]

I dont brake hard for the first 300-400km and after that, find a nice quiet 100km zoned back street, get the car up to 100km/h and brake as hard as possible without locking the wheels or ABS kicking in and dont come to a full stop. Drive for another km or so, so they cool down and do it again. 3-4 times like this should brake them in nicely. They will be smoking and stinking after this but thats normal

$203 ouch. NRMA know how to take advantage of a stranded motorist.

Yea i contemplated getting lifts and buying one and coming back and stuff but it was 7pm, it was raining and i cracked the *****s and just wanted it fixed...

[McDub]

was doing an oil change, then saw a fair bit of oil/tran fluid leaking around the transmission.
had a closer look, could see it had even sprayed up to the inlet to the turbo, then i saw that my hose clamp had completely come loose!!!
the TIP seems to have only come off slightly though, but it was only being held on by it's own force (plus the very tight fit, it's very jammed in thanks to that pesky coolant pipe...)





gonna be hard to try push the TIP on more, it's such a pain to get a good grip on to. will have to remove the dogbone for better access...


so where am i leaking???
I had a gearbox oil change about 20,000k ago if that means anything?
