What did you do to your mk7 today?

[JeffsSportWagen]

Greets from Florida! Took a pic of it (actually yesterday) It was overcast and 71 but at least the car was clean. Its rained all day today.

I hope you then jacked the car up, removed the wheel & then swapped the x-hose & bleeder valves top to bottom...

Window tint, done at 600 miles. Went with a 26% ceramic tint.

I have the same wheels.

Nope I bled caliper inverted with a spacer and speed bleeders. Crossover tube is in on the small piston side and after reading many flame wars I decided that I'd rather have the same bite and function as Porsche designed the caliper. It's very easy to remove from the bracket and invert it to bleed.

Topped off my coolant that had been slowly disappearing over the past 2 years. It was below the min line. Curiously there are no signs of a leak. I kind of wish it would leak in the next 12k mile while still under warranty

You don't understand basics.....air rises to the top ..same in heating systems...you put the bleed valves at the highest points.....your cross over tubes will now store air...& your brake pedal will feel worse over time...

That Porsche caliper when used in its OEM postion..where is the bleed valve??….TOP...

Flame wars on forums etc are usually started by people who "think" they know stuff...but 9 times out of 10 they know jack shit...

Probably it's the thermostat housing. Mine was leaking and there was no signs of a coolant leak like coolant on the ground because it's a very slow leak and burns off before it hits the ground. If your coolant is slowly disappearing as you said you have a leak period. And likely it's the thermostat housing.

Alright, I'll bite... I'm not familiar with this design, but how is removing it and putting it bleeder valve up not accomplishing the exact same thing? It puts the bleeder at the high point, no?

Cheap and silly

At first I thought that was a Jump To Conclusions mat.
