EROtero

I am in need of a couple of rear parking brake motors for a 2006 VW Passat 3.6L 4-Motion. It could also be the caliper assemblies if that's easier to find. Does anyone have these available? Used is ok. Are the FWD 3.6L same year the same? Thanks!

I told you that stuff is the best. That lady looks deliciously sexy. Doing mine this week before weather gets any uglier around here.

Colbert is f-ing hillarious...

Tried to reply PM but you are setup NOT to receive any. Here is my reply:

 

No need to pay, it only take a few minutes to do this. Are you available on Saturday around 11:00am? We can meet at Ronin Training Center in Grandview after I am done with class. I'll bring my laptop and Micro-CAN.

Tetsuo-San, I believe my Micro-CAN is able to do this.

If you don't mind brand etc I believe I got that same size on my last wagon and discount tire hooked it up for under $300 out the door for all 4 and the alignment

 

Perhaps yo mean Tire Discounters. Discount Tire does not do alignments afaik.

My Passat did that near the end of its life: instead of going to zero instant MPG when I was coasting in neutral, it would re-calculate for 200+MPG. Obviously had a small effect on the average fuel economy numbers.

 

Glad to see someone else's Passat with that "feature"...I thought it was odd how it started doing that.

 

so you saying my Passy will die soon Sure doesn't feel like it. VCDSing it tonight just for fun.

After driving a couple of days is now back to numbers I am most familiar with... Oh well... back to making more pretty buildings.

Filled up the tank at the BP around the corner and somehow overnight my Passat became the most fuel efficient in the world...

I would be on a tree branch hanging upside down with my camera

playing Scarlet tomorrow pm... hope stays dry for just a few hours.

guy needs to improve in his turns... wish I could have a go at it.

The dual / dual tailpipes look really nice - I will go that route at some point but have other things first - wheels/lower/cold air and probably another tune. I don't know why I want it to hit 500 RWHP -I don't need it - but still may try to get it there with Brian Turner magic.

 

because its more fun to drive around

How does that Blackfire stand up to Zaino? I've used zaino for years and it always lasted at least a year before it was stripped off. I've used over the counter polishes/sealants and they came off the car within two washes.

 

Used Zanio for years until I tried BlackFire Diamond. Then I tried BlackFire BlackIce and forgot about the Diamond sealant. I detail the car twice a year and it stays shiny and clean longer, and water just beads up and runs.

:thumbup:

looks great!!!:thumbup:

 

winter peelers and new summer rimstires and you are set.

score!

Sounds like a corrupt flash file. Happened to me w/ revo, they just re-downloaded and re-flashed and no problems so far. Now go out there and get yourself some of this fantastic stuff. I promise you wont regret it.

Non resonated downpipe or simply replacing the resonator with an x-pipe set up really seems to give it a good sound under load. My only huge concern is interior sound and reverb.

 

Likely going to leave it stock.

 

It drones at certain rpm range. This is vehicle dependent and each will act with slight variation but the consensus is that it drones somewhere between 2k-35k rpm. If you don't mind it go for it. Also getting piggy pipes to rid off the pre-cats helps keeping the engine bay a bit cooler which may/may not translate into extra power but drones even more. My co-worker and I went through this whole deal with his S4 and he ended with piggy pipes and Milltek cat-back, sound is perfect!

 

They do make a bad-ass sounding exhaust for the S4, but they are $2,100-$3,800 proud of that sound. :zoom:

 

If you google for 10min you can find it for under $1400 shipped (cat-back resonated).

I put a set on a buddys car, were very heavy and took alot of weight to balance them out. if your only interest is to look ok then these are for you.

 

the main reason why I went with OZRs

I'm a fan of "racing silver" wheels on a dark car like this one, unless you are planning on painting black the chrome accent trims around the windows, grill and emblems. Those Niche are really nice tho. For exhaust there is only one place I would look at, Milltek.
