What have you done to your Audi or Volkswagen today????

[Team Loco]

I would prefer to replace rotors. Most likely a rotor woild be warped. Then if so what about the inside of the rotor? Ive done the dial guage thing before. Always found rotor replacement is the best. Even if I shave and polish the rotor it doesnt last because it gets thinner

[purple_heart77]

Mine is not warped, it is worn down so much, that the inside edge of the rotor is touching the disc pad and it makes a loud screeching sound when stopping after the car has been running long on the road.
Zimmerman replacement rotors and new disc brake to be installed.

[Team Loco]

euros tend to do that. the weight. i believe in replacing rotors every two disc pad changes. i dont believe in machining them

[purple_heart77]

This is exactly my timing (second set of pads on car)......however the disc pads are not fully worn.

Seems 2 is the magic number.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

What kinda mileage u got out of the rotors? Highway driving or mostly city?

[purple_heart77]

First four years, Central to POS.
Next two years grocery getter, 95K km on the odo.

[StefanH2]

Transmission change, oil change, oil and air filter change. Top up coolant.

[Monk BANzai]

Changed all diff fluids. Still getting a bit of a vibration under load....not unbalanced tyres...thinking either the rear Diff mount or one of the axles.

grr....

[lalloboy101]

changed, all 4 shocks to bilstein, a few control arms (lemforder,trw and febi), temperature housing (behr) and front wheel bearings (skf) on an A4.

[Team Loco]

Getting close to replacing tranny oil. Anyone know where to purchase oil. Of course besides the dealership? Octavia. ERM has none

Nice headlights.
Does the font of that A4 hate our roads?
So low..

[Monk BANzai]

[neexis]

[Team Loco]

Attempted windscreen replacement today. When new was gonna be installed we realised it had a spot that couldn't be removed. Awaiting another tomorrow. Company convinced me to use an oem they sourced

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Changed oil and oil filter.

Removed supercharger sound insulation.

[jhonnieblue]

Updated rims

[purple_heart77]

Attempted to rotate tyres as per manual 10K Km recommendation. It was observed that the front was not more worn than the back, so no rotation done. Tyres did take speed balancing with minor weights. Alignment was next and did not need any adjustment , it was last adjusted 7 months ago. Very surprised to see this. I put it down to the rotation period may need to be longer than 10K Km. Alignment, well I have been beating some rough road, not fast and pleased that it did not need adjustment (Skoda Yeti).

What sort of rotation regime do you all follow?

[purple_heart77]

Updated rims

Pics of rims that suppose to look like those on the Audi:-)

[telfer]

Put it up for sale lol

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Got it dyno tested.



Anyone know about dynojet dyno? First time doing this and was wondering how people interpret the chart. I am curious as to why both runs aren't closer together in terms of shape. I would be more inclined to trust the red run with atw figures of 145.6 hp and 156.2 ft-lbs torque as the general shapes of the curves match more what I've seen from the manufacturer. Manufacturer claims 160hp, 177 ft-lbs at fly wheel.
