Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Gti pirelli brakes and suspension

    Hi, I’ve just put in dba t2 front rotors and pads,which solved my self diagnosed problem of steering wheel vibration under brakes. Now it’s time for the rear.I note the t2 rotors are ventilated. So I’m wondering if the piston screws in far enough to allow for the extra thickness? Also I removed the leaking rear shocks and replaced with bilsteins which solved the clunking in the back, would eibach springs be a helpful addition? Any ideas on the front suspension complete struts or just the shocks. Thanx for any suggestions

    If they are the correct rotor then the calliper will open wide enough to fit them. Keep in mind you need a special tool for the rears - they twist as they compress compared to regular pistons that just compress. The tool is cheap enough on ebay etc.

    I've used h&r springs on my mk5 and it lowers it nicely but will be a bit firmer. The addition of koni yellow shocks actually made it a better ride and was less harsh that the factory shocks. If you hadnt bought the rear shocks already I would suggest going down coilover path as it's an all in one unit and can be adjusted.

        If the stock rear discs are not vented, I'm going with you have been sent the wrong ones
