Edition 30

[Spankiee]

yeah the disk locator screws snapped on both sides. vw didn't lube them up when previous owner had disks changed 

not the end of the world just makes it a PITA getting the wheel on. also had a few leeks so got that sorted and a full brake fluid change done as it was filthy.

anyway all seems ok now. R-tech on tuesday

the retaining screwsthat hold the disc on can be a pain to get out--i now use at work
a impact driver to get them out

i realised after i should of used an impact bit thingy. ohh well.

got back from R tech yesterday. was a long old day.

300hp i got and 307ftlp. that will do me nicely. it was like 31 degrees outside though so intake temps were struggling and my  battered air con rad didn't help.

I popped over to the stand at VW fest but no one was about. Your car looks great. I love the carbon wings. I'm due wing replacements so may go the same route. Looks great on black.

See a lot of posts about rear calipers sticking, is it easy to diagnose/ notice?  Makes me wonder if it's ever something if missed on mine.  Although my rears have been renewed a couple of time

Lovely looking car mate. Rear calipers do seem quite a common problem on mk5's. Mine both stuck badly a couple of years ago and I first noticed a drop in acceleration/mpg, and then noticed how hot the wheels were getting!
