What did you do to your mk7 today?

[EpicTech]

Like seepage drop or bigger puddle like multi-drop? Is there an oil trail around your pan?

Not sure man. It's just a blotchy puddle, not even typical looking either. Kind of like it dripped for a few minutes and then stopped and seeped into the concrete or something. Not sure about trail, haven't looked at the oil pan yet.

Since the new to me PP Brembo front pads P85144 evolved an not-acceptable clunk/thud noise over certain potholes/positive inputs I ditched them today. Replaced them with OEM pads. No vertical play, no noise!

I know the anti-rattle springs are off. Don’t look at them too angry because otherwise the brake off…

I have the same pads. When installed mechanic told me about the wiggle. For the first few days I notice the clunk over bumps, I order new ate pads but suddenly noise stop don't know how or why. I'm still using the brembo ones over a year no noise anymore.

Ceramic coated the new freebie wheel already…. Ceramic coating is oddly satisfying

This is the second one I’ve done with this group. This one started in Garfield NJ went to Hawks Nest in NY then drove around some PA roads. First started in Butler NJ and went to Hawks Nest.

If you send me a PM I can try and let you know next time ?

Got the GTI a new stablemate. Traded the Jetta, she hasn't been right since the dealer swapped out the media screen and software updated it. Sorry about the bow on the hood, I didn't know they were gonna do that lol.

 

[DSC808]

Finally (successfully) installed Macan calipers. Lots of headache (my stupidity). After bleeding all the brakes (Yay Im done!) I found a hub ring on the ground. But I also rotated the tires, soooo I had to jack up and figure out which tire it came from. Then as I'm putting away all the tools I find 2 brake pads..... I forgot to put them in the passenger side.... but I also pumped the brakes a couple times to make sure the pedal was firm...... sooooo 4 pistons were all the way out..... and I only had the single piston brake tool......... Soooooo I just squeezed the sh!t out of one and it compressed.... buuuuuut it made the other pistons protrude more and started leaking fluid...... So I spent the next 45 minutes squeezing the sh!t out of one piston, slowly compressing then squeezing the sh!t of the one next to it so it wouldnt pop out. Also lost a "H".

*edit* Are my rotors backwards? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Figured you'd traded in the GTI after the leak

Rotors look fine.

Did you have PP brakes before?

Non-PP. First 1/2 of the pedal is soft then it bites. I just daily the car so may change the brake assist settings later.
