There's only one and yes it runs. Car is not overheating even with aircon turned off. Aircon working fine.

Great choice! Hope it serves you well. Not M-sport spec either, which I would consider a big plus   :y

How does cruise control affect the  life of the pads?
It shouldn't unless it's advanced cruise that also slows the car... In which case slowing the car from the rear makes for smoother braking from a passenger comfort perspective as it limits the nose dive effect………….

Well you could be right Al. I just googled VAG ACC rear pad wear and it appears that under very light braking it applies rear bias for the reason that you stated, and uses normal bias for heavier braking……. and pre-sense for those suicidal moments.  ::)  ;D
Maybe it’s just a VAG thing.  :-\  or maybe it’s total horse shite.  ;D

That's bloody dangerous, as the vehicle has no idea what the road conditions are and could easily spin you if you were on an icy patch

A further search reveals that Volvo’s do the same apparently.  :-\  Quoted from a Swedish forum :

‘ Volvo Adaptive Cruise and Pilot Assist is very brake happy instead of coasting to slow down, and uses primarily rear brakes.’

I don’t know for certain Mark, I’m only going on what the Indy told me and what I’ve read, so it’s not factual on my part and could be wrong information.  :-\

That said I found the brake bias on my Altea to be heavily to the rear, so my first thought is that accelerated rear brake wear is either a VW thing or indicative of a fault.

My new steed.  :y







Picked it up on Friday afternoon and drove it to Scotland. On my way home now.  :)



Another pic of Scotland... Just because.  8)

A white one.  No idea what it is, and it's out of view.  But it is dangerously slow.

Optie will cream his jeans because it is petrol.

Lord Opti doesn't wear jeans.  At his age, he prefers brown polyester trousers with an elasticated waist 8)                                                             ;D
Fixed  :)

Started stripping the engine for the purple project.

Oil cooler pipe is rusted through, and in removing it I discovered the fixing was also shot, having become one with the pipe. Gently trimmed it with the watchmaker's grinder to remove it.

Obviously no longer available, option 1 is to find a good used set but failing that... I'm assuming Pirtek or similar will be able to make me a replacement? It's only a pipe with a flare each end, right?
