What did you and your MKV do today?

Looks great :happy2:

Swapped in a Gen3 steering rack with all the fancy new bolts to finally! Stop the car from having a knocking noise over bumps at slow speeds and to hopefully resolve an inch of free play in the steering wheel.
Fixed the knocking noise, but the steering still thought it was in a trust fall exercise - turned out the column was to blame. Swapped that too, and finally got proper steering feel! Celebrated by accidentally karate-chopping the rear view mirror clean off the windscreen. Fun times. :jumping:

After my old, stock front rotors got so warped that I couldn't drive faster than 140kph, I've finally decided to go all in and upgrade to S3 345mm brakes. Got a set of painted and refurbed calipers, bought some tools for the job and went ham. Rears will come later this summer.
Not only do they look much better, they fixed some of my steering wheel vibrations and the brake intensity improved quite a bit.

Good work. The matching 310mm rears help level it up again and even the brake bias out.
You can also get the S3 anti rattle clips, to add the GTI logo on

I'm definitely getting the rear ones as well, but a bit later cause this went way over budget. I'll be fitting braided lines too when I add the rears. I wanted to see how it'll feel with the S3 rubber lines first. Good find on the brake clips, I'll deffo look into them.
