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,

  • Doesn't look good. I will be checking mine in the morning too. I have done nearly 11,000kms.

      I think those marks are left by the pad edge fairly sure they're not cracks, they should go after driving. If I wash the car with cold brakes I don't apply the park brake after washing the car because the water can cause the pads to stick to the disc particularly if not driven for a few days. If you want to apply the park brake best drive a bit after washing the car.

      • Thanks for that. Here’s hoping. I did think that it might be where the pad has stuck but even after a spirited drive today with heavy braking the marks are the same.

            Local dealer said it isn’t covered by warranty as it has been caused by “external influences”. I basically said I don’t accept that explanation and have referred it to VW Australia who have now taken carriage of it. The dealer is pretty certain it isn’t a crack. I believe that is is a defect in the disk and although it doesn’t appear to affect braking, I am not happy with it at only 3,500 km for a so called performance model

                      • You only avoid warranty to the part you are replacing so exhaust you will only avoid replacement of that component not the whole car

                          Mmm loving the new mods you've made, looking very sleek.

                          That wing is hideous though, sorry.

                          But the important thing is, if you like it, that's all that matters!
