I was actually on that thread the other day. Was there anything else you ended up needing besides this part 5G3863711KEJ? Do you have any additional photos of the piece installed?

What did you do to your mk7 today?

That is the only needed part. I will get some photos and update here but might be a bit.
Installed my Stop Tech BBK and. Motorsports Stud Kit
I picked up some unpainted rear brakes with 5k on them and painted them with silver caliper paint to match

Nice. That's the ST-40 kit, right? Any install tips or is it pretty straight forward?
It's pretty straight forward. I left the old calipers attached until I was ready to just pop on the new brake line and used a power bleeder. I did forget to order new bracket bolts so I had to wait on those. I would just put the brake line on loose and angle the brake line a bit to make a smooth transition before tightening them down. Changing out brake pads will be a lot easier.

Didn’t get a chance to post yesterday but I swapped out my 034 dogbone insert for the powerflex diesel(red) insert. I’m pretty happy so far. The only noticeable vibrations that are worse than the 034 are in reverse. So it’s def a keeper. Also I finally got my IE V2 intake in after waiting a month for it. Also had the IE turbo inlet waiting to go in as well.

Yeah, a warm engine would help, also helps as most deposits are still suspended in the oil. If you're worried about left over metals and such, you could buy 7 quarts, toss in half a quart and re-extract.
Did you make sure you released all pressure with the little valve under the handle before you started extracting? Ran into that issue when I was using it and had to repump.

I didn't even realize that was there until you mentioned it. I just looked at an image of it and never messed with that before, lol. That might be part of it. Thank for pointing that out.
Replaced my worn out rear sway bar endlinks with the oh so nice Moog ones.
I did have the dreaded issue with the triple square portion of the old endlinks breaking. So I took a Dremel with a cutting disk and cut slots into the endlink bolt and a relieve slot in the nut. I probably would've replaced them with the Moog ones earlier had I know the Moog ones were designed with the squares on the endlink side to use a wrench instead of the triple square on the OEM.

I ran a hard wire for my dash cam and that was the easiest time I had running a wire in a car ever. Took like 10 minutes tops.

The admins need to update the certificates. They expired yesterday.
I can't post or comment when using Chrome. Firefox works, though.
