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,

    If you are after a high performance pad, there's a few of us that use the Ferodo 2500's on the front. I think most of this is covered in the FAQ and DIY.

    I have these on the front with EBC Greens on the rear, and Motul racing fluid, and the brakes are (now) really strong.

      So the (crap) standard pads are Lucas hey?

      Just goes to show - what works well on one car doesn't neccessarily translate to another.

      The Ferodo 2500's are metal, yeh? How does this go on your rotors?

      Given I don't track my car I want pads that bite from cold - when some idiot pulls out in front of you when you're doing 80kmh in town.

        Most Brake pads have some sort of metal in them...it helps add to the "bite" of the pad on the rotor...its all up to the application. I had Bendix pro's on my last car, and they were friggen amazing. I'm looking at adding them to mime now.
