Reflex Silver Golf GT Sport .:R-Line 1.9 TDI - 200k km reached
Shoduchi:
Forgot to update this project. Almost a month ago had enough time to do the last bits on my list. :smiley:
So it got:
* Rear brake discs: DBA 2811S of 253 mm
* Rear brake pads: Ferodo DS Performance FDS1083 of 52,9 mm
* Paint all calipers black, Golf R20 style
* Refurbish the front calipers
* Fit the R20 front caliper clips
I'll need to wash it properly before taking new pictures. Behind the Omanyts the brakes are very discrete painted black.
Renewing my rear brake system made the Golf brake more leveled. It was sinking the front end a lot before. I didn't know the fault was in used brake discs and pads. :surprised: I like it a lot at the moment. :grin:
Lets see what the Brembo 18Z and R32 rear setup will do in the Eddie. :evilgrin:

This car has continued to be my daily driver since my Ed. 30 has been at my mechanic's shop for the last 4 and an half months.
Last week it was booked for a roof, bonnet and front spoiler respray and wind shield replacement. I was given a 2013 BMW 116d Sport during the repair time which I won't miss (low engine power, very soft suspension and bad traction on wet roads with its 205/55R16 Michelin Energy Saver tyres) although it easily made good mileage.
Next it will have an oil change and front discs replaced for the 340 mm Brembo Sport of the TTS (10,1 kg), because I've warped a little my 345 mm ATE (12,1 kg). :confused:
I'll ask my mechanic to check if there's any mechanical reason for the discs to get warped so soon (1 year and just a bit more than 10k miles) because I don't remember doing anything that would provoke this. :confused:

Today I had the chance to take a couple of pics to show the resprayed bonnet and repaired front spoiler. :smiley:
At the end of the day I went to meet a friend who recoded the EEPROM of my door modules to activate the folding of the side mirrors with the car key and their automatic opening when turning on the ignition. No need to replace factory fitted door modules. :jumping:
Next week I should be able to do this to the Ed. 30 too. :grin:

Super cool! What door module do you have?

Thanks! Both my Golfs have the same door controllers: 1K0 959 701 N (1K0-959-701-MAX3.lbl). :smiley:
n4s can also code any Golf mk6 door controller and personalize the opening with coding the BCM. :smiley:
