Had the 4 year/60,000 klm service today - only travelled 32477klms and was advised the rear brake pads were down to approx 3mm and were needing replacement PLUS the Rotors also = WTF.
I get the rear bias put on by VW will wear the pads quicker but was advised the rotors have a "soft"...

I posted this thread not long ago re my torn brake pad wear sensor and disabling the warning lamp. It looks like soldering it is the easiest/cheapest solution. It definitely doesn't seem too hard, but I also don't wanna mess up so as I haven't done anything like that and i'm wondering if anyone around...

Any thoughts on wear of the rear right tyre on the inside, enough to blow out on a trip to Queensland. 2018 Wolfsberg Passat, it had just been serviced prior to the trip. There is no other wear on the tyre.

Hi does anyone have any experience with this power module from Steinbauer, as to pros and con, safety. Engine gains said to be upto 20% in
power and torque. Wear etc
Thanks Nick

Hi all!

Do any of you suffer excessive wear on the inside of the rear tyres?

I've been told by Pedders, that the rear wheel camber isn't adjustable, but the insides of my tyres wear much more that the rest of the tyre.

Has anyone adjusted theirs?

If...

Hi all,

I've been noticing what can only be described as a rasping sound from my 2.0 FSI N/A manual Jetta. It seems more common when the engine is hot, and it varies with engine RPM. Strangely it's definitely audible in the cabin, but when you open the engine bay it is less noticeable -...

Hi All,
Great forum!
My first post is a question about Tiguan Front brake wear,

I am looking at purchasing a 2018 Allspace 132 ex dealer exec car it has 26,000kms on it I was surprised to see how much front brake disc wear has occurred, a significant ridge is visible and...

Does anyone know if the B8 passat is fitted with brake pad wear sensors? Mine is a 2017 206TSI wagon. Last service report indicated that brake pads/rotors may need to be replaced before next scheduled service. So far no indications on the dash.

Hi Guys,

On a very wet day at some traffic lights, my ABS/ESP light came on after traction control kicked in momentarily when it slipped in the moistness. I'm just getting to it now and have the front wheels off the car.

On the front right the sensor looks fine. The tie rod...

Hi All,

The better half has clipped a gutter or two and VW had advised around 700 bucks to supply and fit parts for the I believe lower control arm bushes. This in turn has made both front tyres wear on the inner edge very badly, so I am up for two new tyres as well.

Any...

Hi,

I'm looking to put an LSD into the 02R 5 speed in my vw Polo 9n3 gti. I have a couple of questions that I don't believe have been fully answered in the other threads that I was hoping to get some help with:

1. torsen/helical Quaife ATB vs Peloquin vs Wavetrac. Now...

Hey guys,
I have a 2008 RS wagon with about 120k's on it and was thinking of doing an APR Stage 1 flash. Has anyone had clutch wear issues after getting this done? Had the Stage 2 flash done in my MKVI GTI and needed a new clutch within 12 months (a very expensive affair )

Not...

I have noticed some severe inner wheel wear on the front, both sides are identical, looks like camber wear but apparently this cant be adjusted? The depth of the tread indicators is basically the same for all 3 of the main grooves, this is the second set of tyres that have done this and are less than...

Been chasing down an annoying noise from the front suspension and took the front strut out today. It was replaced about 10,000kms ago by a Panel beater after an accident, so not a dealer repair. Sound started about 5,000kms ago and is a rattling on light rough surfaces. On big bumps and smooth roads,...

$1800 the lot pickup only from melbourne. the wheels alone cost me that plus 4 p zero's (tread wear is about 70% and 90% fronts and rears, so heaps...
