dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 bungy ive still got a pedal like a slightly firm pillow but just havent had a chance to redleed them yet although the bite at the botom is improving. I dont do much braking so im having to force myself to brake more often to get them fully bedded in. Took trips to a couple vw meets in the evenings just to get more miles on them but im hoping to get them bled again early next week to see if there is more air or its just taking a while to bed them in Link to post Share on other sites

dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 easy fix extra bonus bein autostradas come with factory stainless bolts nuts are 10mm single hex so ill give them a quick polish and get them zinc plated before rebuilding them or just fit some new double hex nuts when I rebuild. Almost definately going to become occasional use wheels as I can swap the speedline tyres onto these when needed Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 When you bled your brakes were you using a forced bleeding system or a vacuum system? The vacuum systems draw the air through the fluid easier than the pressure ones and may be worth a go.http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0002GV0YC/ref=asc_df_B0002GV0YC1891926?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0002GV0YC Link to post Share on other sites

The FK1 is my post code I bought the car from a guy in Invernessso....spent yesterday at my mates bit swapping his coils for my FK's and ended up with my shaft popping out the cv so spent today fixing that and freeing off the coils. The rears turned into a nightmare but the fronts were soundcurrently about 16 coils down at the front(around 35mm)and 20mm lower at the rearits rubbing a bit over bumps and turning but soon as I get the bentleys on and get rid of the mahoosive 215/45s I can drop it a bit more Link to post Share on other sites

dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 bump from the almost death......still own this,still fixing it and almost always managing to daily it. Went through a spel where everything I fixed two more issues popped up. Currently nursing it about with a head gasket on the way out,bushes that are shot to hell that recent work finished off,fuel leaks(rubber bay hoses are weeping),oil leaks(sump/rocker),power steering leaks(untraceable so far)and probably some other stuff ive forgotten about. Picking up a parts car soon and hopefully next week will sort the majority off the suspension bushes and hopefully the engine mounts will be renewed the same time as the subframe goes on Link to post Share on other sites
