Advisories

  • corrosion on front coil springs
  • ridges on brake discs (get this every year esp on rears)
  • worn rear brake pads


Rear brakes on the mk6 (and mk5) platform always wear unevenly leaving unswept patches. doesnt look great but doesnt effect overall use.
I do try to use the handbrake at speed to 'clean' them up (allowing cool down of course)

At some point Ill have to replace the rear discs and pads.

inner surfaces behind the wheels are corroding, so will need resprayed or powder coated (black chrome?) in due course

front bumper is delaminating, so will need resprayed at some point
will do rear bumper as well and get rid of all the bumpers holes so I can run small plates!)

car still cleans up well though.
