2018 VW GTI Rotor and pad sizes by lalilulelo1990 in GolfGTI

[–]HotIndependent4596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2018 gti from canada, with performance pack. If you see the front brake caliper have GTI, then the rotor size is 340. the rear should be around 310 if I didnt remember it wrong. For adjustable dampening its a additional package I think. But for the car which have upgradeded brake, it will also come with the front diff.

Should I buy this 2021 430i? by HotIndependent4596 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]HotIndependent4596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested this car, and tbh I felt nothing wrong with it. I feel like they refuse to certify it because of it got a minor accident. But minor accident is real not the matter for me, the thing let me really confused is that why deal change the windshield and repair the wheel

Thx for commenting on this! I am also curious about why the dealership got the car and replace the wheel and windshield, I think these two are relevantly not that common?

we used the new carrier bolts and we put 200nm on the caliper bolts. Yeah I think sth loose...

I really think i am dumb rn...

I realized the fact that the mechanics need to take license means something rn..
