Ordered a new screen for the board monitor yesterday from China. Its getting black spots. This screen lasted 3 years only. And while I was on it I also ordered a replacement laser unit for the MK4 in the trunk. Its started to have issues as well.


Read my thread about the tweak that will eliminate most DHC breaks. It's a design flaw that causes most breaks because stupidly the lock tries to hold down the handle when locked rather than "dry fire" (let the handle lift and do nothing )

after replacing my full front suspension and still having a deadly wobble on steering wheel. I took the next step and picked up meyle HD rotors and installed them. No more shake after 3 months of diagnosing on my free time.

Wobble only when braking and wobble frequency proportional to speed almost always out of square rotors.

I instantly assumed that I needed the front suspension replaced anyway because of how old the car was. My fault on that one.. rides smooth. 189k.
