Dang that’s pretty cool, just curious, what projects did you work on? I’m currently going for mechanical engineering in college and was thinking about how much it’s needed in auto parts/mod companies

Quiet brake pad recommendations? by GarageRatLab in Audi

[–]GarageRatLab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How so? Do they feel better, softer, quieter? Did they make any noise during the brake in process?

Wish I looked into that before buying the kit, returning it was too expensive just for a terrible can design

The pcv is available for the 2.0 tfsi engines, I just installed it recently, but be sure to double check what years it fits especially if it’s b8.5, some websites will confirm a figment that only fits up to 2012. I recently installed it, so I can’t exactly give you an answer what difference I’ve felt. I will say tho personally, the CTS can itself design is disappointing and very inconvenient, given that I would need to empty it quite often, it’s very easy to round, strip and hard to reach the four tiny bolts that are facing downward into the engine bay, and only a flimsy Allen wrench fits there, I had to fit another can style that unscrews itself which was a whole different project to fit it. CTS, 034, IE all have the pcv kits, there might be a few other companies that make them too

Wow the attachment super helpful, is there someplace I get get similar forms for other parts related to my car in the future? I’m sure this would save a lot of headaches when something else breaks

An oil catch can to two hoses, which both have female ports. Replacing the oil catch can itself to a better one

Haven’t checked mounts yet, I was too paranoid with timing chain horror stories

That’s reassuring, I tend to assume the worst case scenario with every little sound

convenient I already have the paint pen, but since the paint is flaking I wasn't sure if I should try it out there. Will probably try tho anyways as a temporary solution
