What did you do to your mk7 today?

[the]

Heading to the tail, ~4hr. Come bomb the TN mountainside with me

 

[JTM88]

Gave it a wash with the new spotless rinse setup. It’s so nice not needing to towel dry. Just blow most of it off with a leaf blower and let it drip.

PCV #5 I think

This one is an AP.

Much success. NO SMOKE!!

Finally have a car that doesn't smoke on right turns anymore. Lesson learned. If it ain't broke...

Oh and new grounding kit because I broke the connector trying to do the PCV last time.

Don't buy those. Don't buy brakes off AliExpress.

Go to AliBaba, and find the actual factory they come from. At the very minimum, you'll cut out the middle man who's selling them on AliExpress. Plus, you'll be able to see what kind of factory they come from.

Looks like you'll need a 6 lug hub swap to fit those.

That's a generic picture. You can order caliper color, disk type, etc...

Quick search. While I have very limited experience (once lol), they (different factory) gave me the lowest price even ordering a single sample set. So maybe $600 vs. $1000 after shipping? Send them a message. Tell them you want to buy a sample set, and maybe an order of 10 - 15 sets in the future, even if it's BS.

Edit: this looks like the listing/company you'd actually want.

Flushed my brake juice as per manufaturers recommendation (every 3 years). Fluid coming out was the same color as OEM fluid coming in.

Mechanic told me today front brakes are 80%, back are 20%. Is this a normal wear pattern or did my last guy just skip the back 2 years ago?

He skipped the rears

Rears wear at half the rate. He didn't do rears.

Went to garden store to load up the gti with black mulch (bagged of course) and did some landscaping yesterday. I finished planting this morning.
