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,

    btw, SSman, are you only upgrading the rotors ? Or new calipers too?

    Regards,

    My guess is that they are the calipers that came with the kit

    • That's correct, changing from the solid disc at the rear to a vented 305mm disc and still retaining the e-brake. I wasn't that fussed about having a mondo 4 pot caliper at the rear, those will be on the front.

      Cheers

                • Got the new Oval BMC CDA installed in my pog and the great thing is the factory battery didn't need replacing to a smaller unit and was simply shifted slightly. Great work once again from Dean at Volkspower. Next is installing the Ecs tuning N75, MK5 gti Ed30 tiller and paint and fit the lower lip, wheel arch flares eye lids (when they FINALLY decide to arrive).

                  • Where are you getting eyelids from? Are they the JE Design ones?

                    • Anymore details about how you fit the BMC CDA without moving/changing the battery? The battery issue has been the only thing stopping me from going to BMC CDA over my current PD160/K&N panel combo. If i did get a smaller battery i dont know where i'd put all the fuses and stuff on top of it and i CBF working out something custom myself.

                          • Hey guys, the BMC CDA used is the new much more compact OTA (oval type box) with part number being: OTA70
                            Check out this link: OTA Project
                            Because its much more compact than the older design, it fit in snugly where the SEAT PD160 intake pipes would usually sit hence negating the need to replace the battery with a smaller one. However, the battery would need to be shifted slightly to the right. I'll post pic when I get home later this morning (on night shift right now). Air feed is relatively direct and comes from the same location/spot of the intake trumpet opening.

                              Got them off tmtuning.com I think they are the JE ones.

                                Notice any difference in performance? Noise?
