  Did you torque them to spec, or you just hand tighten them?

  I would recommend torquing them to spec however I just used the German universal torque spec of gutentight. They haven’t fallen off or loosened up yet. Your mileage may vary

  Also, you can do just the caliper pin bolts, you can leave the mounting bracket installed. One less set of bolts to worry about and saves a little time

  Hi all the way from New Zealand. I have a Z3 with a hard top. Same issue you described. Removed the hard top, cleaned around the A pillar plug with turpentine, used a fine wire to make sure the drainage whole was not blocked and flushed it with turpentine. Lightly filled around the rubber plug (bung) with black windscreen sealant. Wearing rubber gloves to spread sealant round edges and surface. Nice tidy finish. Walla heavy rain no more leaks from down under NZ.

  If you remove the back stop larger phones will fit. That’s about all the good I have to say about it though. The coil is too thin and the rubber pad doesn’t have enough sticking power to hold the phone even in normal traffic let alone hard cornering. On top of that it heats the phone up to the point where it will stop charging. I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone with a larger phone, or anyone that enjoys a phone cooler than the heart of the sun.

  man, this is a lot of work for a broken tab. mine broke, so that button came out flying, along with the spring itself. dealer said something like 900 dollars to do what you just did in this video i didn't want to do it. so what i did was, i used eletrical tape, went around the broke tab, 1.5 round, then put some strong glue on the tape surface, inserted the spring, pushed the button back, and with the button depressed, taped the button to the handle, allowed the glue to dry, thirty minutes later, it worked just fine, i know it is ghetto, but it works, and saved me a thousand bucks lol

  @@RLT This is also an issue on the Seat Leon Mk3 , which is basically a Mk7 golf under the skin. There is a guy on ebay now sells a simple kit to repair this without doing all that work. Basically a machined aluminium button, replacement spring and a grub nut that screws through a thread in the button to clamp onto that plastic tab - therefore not relying on the clip and not requiring glue. I have a slightly different problem in that the previous owner seems to have already done a similar repair using the plastic button, a nail and a bit of glue. So the plastic end has actually snapped where he put the nail in. I've now taken the button off and glued the plastic end back on. Then I intend to try applying the repair kit. But yes I agree it doesn't seem like a durable way to do a repair so thanks for this video I may need to return to it.

• 
  @RLT4 ай бұрын

  You know I don’t know actually. I observed a puddle back there while I was pressure testing the cooling system looking for leaks. I sort of wonder if the extreme heat causes it to boil away completely. Another possibility might be that the coolant is allowed to slip down the back of the block meaning you will not see it unless you pull the engine. Also you know how these cars are there could be oil caked in there from who knows where. Maybe someone smarter than I could give an answer.

I'm hesitant to run afoul of emissions here in Illinois which is the reason for the OEM downpipe. I've done a ton of mods both engine & handling and the car is truly a blast to drive. As an aside, consider an aluminum oil pan if you're not fond of VW's love of plastic. I have much better piece of mind with it on (& a skip plate).
