@Pudding: thanks for the info :happy2:
I was having doubts … should I change it or not… but I bought the whole set so I’ll change it anyway :wink:
Some other question!
Is it nessecery to upgrade / change the master brake cylinder when upgrading to 6 pot Z18 brake calipers?! Some do it, Some not :thinking:
pudding:
It depends what your brake pedal feels like after you've installed them. Some people fit the TT-RS master cylinder with brakes that big, which makes sense to me.

When I change the brakes and bed them in, I’ll give my thoughts about it :wink:
Still waiting for parts from my local VW garage :sad1: I hope they arrive by friday…
RBS:
Finally the other parts arrived today😁
Got the temp sensor and bigger DSG cooler with some other bits & bolts…
If everything Goes to plan, this friday I’ll change the 2 thermostats, temp sensor, cooler and again fill up with coolant👍🏻
RBS:
Hi everybody :wink:
It was time to get back in the garage…
I thought it would be a 3 - 4 hour job… boy was I WRONG!! :doh:
So next step was to change both themostats and temp sensors…
In the whole process I also changed the aircon compressor, DSG gearbox mount from 034 Motorsports (Density) and put in a new Varta battery.
The hole taking appart went fairly smooth until I came across the 5mm triple square which holds the coolant line that goes to the big themostat on the engine block :slap that was a real nightmare to get loose/off 😡 but in the end it surrenderd!
In the whole changing out proces I forgot to take some pics :doh:
In the end I got to change all of that stuff :jumpmove: BUT!!! It took a whopping 10 hours to do all that!!!
Also a wake up call to reality for me… I AM NOT 20 years anymore!!! My
Body is a wreck today😵
But anyway a couple of pics show the stuff I did…
