I got pagid pads fitted last week on my car with brembo max discs, braking has been excellent so far. I love that feeling of having some time off and planning the tinkering, I have a few days off in March for a planned tinker
It's rare to get some free time with the little man around these days. I had 29days leave to use before 1st April so no wife or child (I should put a sad face there
but really it should be
).
The long list consists of:
General
Fit new ECS CF Inlet Manifold Cover.
Do an engine flush with fresh oil, filter and new copper washer on the old magnetic plug.
Fit new Pollen Filter.
Fit new Fuel Filter (anyone any ideas how this is done
).
Fit new glass Rear Wiper Delete.
Adjust the Rear Upper Strut Brace and fit some S/S end fitments.
Steam clean the interior along with the steering wheel, which has mould growing in the dimples from storage (damp
).
Butyl all 4 doors as the rear passenger one has a leak.
Front
Remove old brakes and prepare the hubs.
Service front Airlift modules and Coilovers.
Clean down the wheel arches, stone chip and paint in Futura Yellow (couldn't get Ovni).
Roll the arches and trim the arch liner to suit.
Fit the new brakes and brake lines.
Fit the new poly bushed dog mount.
And fit the R32 ARB if I can source one cheap (but not likely this time round)
Rear
Remove the rear axle, have sandblasted and powder coated.
CNC a set of rear caliper brackets to accept 323mm x 22 mm 2-piece Compbrake rotors.
Refurbish the original calipers with paint and new seal set.
Fit rear axle poly bushes which I've had sat in the shed for 2 years.
Roll the arches a tad more than factory and trim the arch liners to suit
Stone chip and paint the rear arches and underneath.
Put back together with new brakes lines.
Once all that's done, it'll be ready for the body
shop if I can afford it. The car is desperate for a new TB exhaust then we'll be sorted for next season I reckon.
It's a list and by putting it on here it'll hopefully give me a sense of direction and focus. I best get cracking then...
Richy posted a guide which was originally posted on VW Vortex, explaining some issues which are known to occur with the 02Ms main shaft. I don't seem to have any of the issues but for £9.38p posted, I have bought the below part numbers as a form of future proofing whilst I'm working in that region ATM
