No…. Almost like the connection head of the cable is bad

For those of you with Stoptech brakes ( and maybe others).
The cover you remove to change out the pads.
Does it matter which direction you put it back?
There's a little arrow on one side & I took that to mean that's the direction the rotor turns, but wasn't sure if it mattered as it easily fits either way.

Haven't done it myself but I'd imagine you just need something like this and a small trailer

Oh yeah I've already decided how to go about it, just looking for actual feedback on how it goes.

GRM article on putting a hitch on their GTI build: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/p...trailer-hitch-is-useful-for-more-than-towing/ . The comments are more interesting than the article tbh

Found my boost leak is caused by a crack in my ic hose, is it possible to fix with super glue or something? Or is my only option to wait for a new one to arrive from g-plus?

If it were me and I had to drive it, I’d probably try a whole lot of guerrila tape (duct tape). Maybe a large tire patch and then duct tape if I were going to try to use it like that for awhile.

Was looking at radiator hose repair tape (below) for a temporary fix, drivability wasn't really effected until you try getting into the power

I used some of that a few weeks back to slow a leak on my radiator. It's tremendously hard to get a proper seal in a high-temp/pressure application. It leaked until I replaced the hose.

I'd probably go for a tire patch kit in a pinch.. The glue/epoxy that comes with that would probably hold a lot better than even gorilla tape.

Also noticed a lot oil on the oil pan yesterday, any ideas what it could be from? Found a similar pic on Reddit and they thought it could be the drain plug which I haven't replaced in years because I have an extractor
