Subject to the wear on the pads in the S3 rear kit I've bought (I haven't opened the packaging yet!) I intend to fit the DS2500's I've already got (still in their box but looked at!). Hence my question earlier.
DaveB is the resident brakes guru, so I would always listen what he has to say.
Just click the star Thank You on the top righthand side of the post you want to thank.

I am not to sure why, its probably just me Robin, but it makes me cringe when you ask for people to click your thank you. :sick:
Is it not enough that they say thank you very much in the post. :stupid: :ashamed:
I know your going to say you were just trying to help a new member out by pointing this out but you have done it on at least 3 other occasions.

@ TC:
Yes, you're correct in realising what I'm going to say - I wonder why :grin: : -
I was directly asked how to use the Thank You feature and you should note that I wrote how to do so in a way which was purposely general and not specifically for myself.
Yes, of course I enjoy it knowing that I have helped someone enough for them to go as far as clicking the Thank You button and I'm not ashamed of that.
Instead of taking the opportunity to criticise what I posted, you, as a Moderator, really ought to be more grateful that a member (in this case myself) has bothered to help a newbie in response to their question. Perhaps you should click me a Thank You too :evilgrin:
Or is it my turn to be someone for you to have a go at..... Again. :rolleye:
Top Cat:
Dress it up how you want asking for thanks is like touching a slug. :fighting2:

Go easy Top Cat- I did ask - as a newbie I was grateful for the help and wanted to do so but was too slow to work it out for myself-if you read my post you will see Robin just answered my request.

Don't think this was answererd.
Basically, the Golf Mk5, and just like all modern ABS (with EBD) - does NOT use any knid of 'mechanical' brake biasing or proportioning. All modern brake systems now have much greater 'default' bias to the rear - typically 60% front, 40% rear. The actual finite biasing is done on the fly via the electronics in the ABS - more specifically, the EBD, or 'electronic brake-force distribution'.
