I just have to say it's odd having suspension again. I didn't realize just how gone my suspension really was. I was so used to a stiff ride that now I feel like I'm floating around on a hovercraft. Strange.

Well, I finished putting my new mk3 drums on the rabbit, bled the whole system AGAIN with ATE superblue, and the pedal doesn't feel any stiffer. I am sure it stops better, but I wouldn't know....there is no engine in it haha On the other hand, got ahold of a new mk3 MC and put it on my mk2 jetta (only 9.4's and 180mm drums, ironically) and it feels great! There is very little travel in the pedal to make it WORK!
All pads have been bed in right. I have Porterfield R4S on rear and Akebono Cermacis on front.
They were using the wrong oil- Shell 0-30, and it was clicking pretty loud when cold. I got the oil change kit from Duetche Auto and put in the Luqimoly. What a difference. I cant recommend it more. You will love it.
My replacement screen Tech from the windscreen specialist company knew exactly what to do, had reference to the correct instructions and his company sourced the exact replacement screen, from VW stock against the car's VIN.
Water pump on the T4 EVWK went ok. But, it is a Saleri pump from Italy.
I replaced mine at 60K, just a few months ago. I used Raybestos rotors and pads. So far, so good
Driving the Golf R made me not buy it. I have a 2009 MKV TSI base model 6mt with APR Stg 2 (intake, chip, downpipe) upgraded stock brakes (hawk HPS, ss lines, dot 4 fluid), KW V3 coilovers (both rebound and compression adjustable) and it was faster, handled better and braked similarly to the Golf R.
The glass, made by Pilkington, was touching the front of the IP making noise. I called the glass company fearing the worst, but they said they told me not to worry and they would call Citizens and demand OEM glass.
