  1. Brakes
    Replaced all brake pads the other day for maintenance (zero issues with brakes). Pedal was soft. So bled brakes 3 times (first time rear to front "protocol." When that didn't seem to work, started driver front 2nd time-it was better, so did it again that way). Brakes seemed fine for a couple...
  2. Golf VII R
    Hi all. This is my first post but I have learned a lot reading this forum. I have searched high and low and I can't find any guide or video on how to replace the harness for the ABS/wheel speed sensor. I accidentally pinched it trying to tighten a shock bolt. I have the harness on order but I...
  3. Golf VIII R
    Over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that my brakes squeak when coming to a stop at intersections. It’s nit for most of the braking, just the last 10 feet or so. How’s this possible if I only have 16,000 miles on the car? I do t do track days or anything that would wear hard on breaks...

    Zimmermann Rotors - 1K0615301AA Bought these last year off the forum and never installed. Aside from the box they are new and only have a bit of rub marks from transportation and shipping, etc. I sold my MKV GTI a month ago and need to get rid of this amongst some other gear. Would consider...

    My 2005 GLI is having issues with the brake pedal. It is soft and goes to the bottom when the car is running but gets hard when it is off. I have replaced both the master and booster, and have bled the abs and brakes both with a vacuum bleeder and vagcom. At this point, I am stumped and have no...

  9. Jetta/GLI VI
    Recently converted my 2012 Jetta’s rear brakes from drums to a set of pads and rotors. The hardware all fit the calipers (from a Mk5 Jetta). After finishing up, very poor pedal. Squishy. Re-bled everything and it’s still squishy. Did an ABS bleed. Still squishy. Someone suggested I need a...

    Hey everyone, if there is already a thread regarding this feel free to remove. Anyways, my buddy has a full set of brakes off of his B7.5 S5 that he's willing to give me and I am wondering if anyone has heard of or has done the swap onto a MK4 or if it is even possible. I am in the market for a...

    In your car, it is more important to be able to stop than it is to go fast. Whether you’re driving a rather tame sedan, or a fully modded muscle car, you have to have absolute trust that the brakes will do the job and bring you to a stop. Regardless of what you drive, a performance car needs...

  13. Passat (B7)
    Hi I've recently bought a Passat BiTDI 240ps estate. The brakes are OK but there's always room for improvement. Any body know if the Touareg Brembo BM5 calipers will fit the 340mm disks on the Passat? Anyone know of any alternatives, preferably 4 pot units don't need anything more crazy than...
  14. Golf V & Jetta V
    I want to buy EBC Redstuff pads for my Mk5 GTI in the US since it's about $150+ cheaper there. But I was wondering if the US Spec and GCC (UAE) Spec Mk5 GTIs have the same size brake pads. A friend of mine ordered EBC Redstuff pads in US for his MK7 GTI, and his rear pads did not fit properly.
  15. Golf III & Jetta III
    Whoever helps me with this one, I owe you a million! Replaced driver side handbrake cable and the wheel cylinder and soon the following problem started on my 1997 Golf III. Namely, my rear left brakes start dragging. So, I lift the car, released adjustment wedge and the wheel spins easily...

  18. Passat (B6)
    Hey guys I’ve seen numerous people talking about their brake lights being stuck on. I had to replace my abs module and i had to replace a brake line cuz I broke it 😢. Anyway I took out the master cylinder to clean the surrounding area. I disconnected the brake light switch and when I put...

    My car broke down not too far from home, so we towed it back using tow straps. car is fixed now, but ABS light is on. I’ve done the “disconnect battery/pump brakes” trick but that didn’t work. Brake fluid level is good, brakes are good, Any thoughts on how to fix it?
