What did you do to your mk7 today?

[ChristopherNeil]

Just oblong your hole in the brace a little then with a round file / dremel or old drill bit

I actually ripped the rivnut out on accident. Turns out it wasn't seated all the way to begin with. Damn I'm rusty. Anywhere I can get a rivnut a-la-carte?

If, upon replacement, it doesn't line up, I'll do tha. Great advice.


EDIT: says it comes with one extra, so I'll hunt for it... I didn't count beforehand.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's that those marks are accurate if you take out the pump mechanism which displaces some fluid.

Could be. There's also a tube that runs down the middle of the cylinder.

Yeah definitely only came with six nutserts, not seven.

Did you do any master cylinder coding similar to what’s been referenced in the Macan thread?

$6 peel-n-stick felt from Joann Fabric. Good enough. Keep the rattles down. Cheaper than a new glove box door.

Woke up, walked into the garage, and cursed at her because I’m probably going to have some fairly large expenses this year. Wrestling with the wants vs needs….

1. Need: New street tires (currently at 3/32 and 4/32). What tire I choose will depend on if I do #2…
2. Want: Dedicated set of autocross wheels/tires.
3. Need: New control arms or bushings to resolve front end clunk.
4. Maybe need: Carbon cleaning when the slight coolant leak is addressed (no symptoms of carbon buildup but I have 71k miles, so ideally it can be borescoped before committing to the work).
5. Want: Repaint rear bumper (previous owner had it done cheaply).
6. Need: By EOY, DSG service.

Good thing my new job pays a little better

Nothing….I did nothing and working perfectly. Honestly haven’t read much about that in that thread…I’ll look into it

Yeah, I was curious, I’m looking at maybe picking up the TTRS brakes myself. I haven’t read much on the additional coding being needed with them, but seems that it’s recommended with the macan calipers

You totally should! I love these things….slap em on, bleed em and roll

This tornado attachment is the best tool I’ve ever used for interior cleaning. Idk if I’m using it as intended, but I open all the doors and blow all the crap out and it works.

I keep meaning to pick one of those up

 

[krvnked]

ive come to the realization that I am not up for the task of installing my digital dash at the possibility of having a non drivable car so I have decided to put my dash up for sale. shameless plug, check the classifieds if you're local to New Jersey and looking for one.

Finally got an alignment done after installing lowering springs in December.

It's above 40° in New England, prepare for a bunch of "washed it" posts. So here's my golf R sedan

Also, there was this thing, in the sky, a giant orange fireball. I'll have to Google it.

Edit: guys..... I remember now, it's called the sun! What a time to be alive.
