New Pads and brake fluid flush.. Fun sunday night!


10-8-2015

alittle more detail from this weekend:

took care of the brakes with a power bleed (first time using one and man how awesome)



then I used ATE type 200 race fluid with fresh Hawk pads. The bleeder is from Motive Products and is model 0109.

used this handle bottle as well:



Did have some issues with the rear parking brake. Most of us know its electronic and you need something along the lines of a Ross-Tech cable (which I don't own).
At first I tried the carista app which offers the parking brake tool in the beta. After enrolling in the beta, the tool never showed up as an option. I got in touch with Carista support (who were helpful and were quick on answering e-mails) and told me to send in debug. Once they have the debug they would see what the issues is. I have yet to do it, but I will.

I didn't want to wait on a debug since I already had my Tiguan on jack stands. I pick up this from amazon:Roadi EP21 Electronic Park Brake Diagnostic Tool http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o00_s00

Cost me 130 and worked like a dream.

So spent more then I thought I would, But I'm ready for Oct 16th at NOLA http://www.nola-speedandstyle.com/

also got a new shoes, set of 235-45-17 Pilot Super Sports :-)
