Rear brakes usually cause problems first rather than front as discs do not get that much use normally and tend to get some rust and the auto brake wears the pads. Mine is 6 years old in June so will be making a careful check and change what is necessary before the service. Still enjoying mine after 5 years of ownership and no issues apart from needing a software update soon after buying to sort the stop/start error codes that kept appearing.
Would you tend to just replace the pads only, or should I consider discs as well?

On the start/stop topic, I want to code it out of my car now I can a new battery in it.

Ah ok,

Shall I stick with trying these 2 new connectors/couplings 1st then of still.happening, pipes?

They seem hardish to find , when I find ones that look similar i get the "doesnt fit your car"

But also had that before on a part and worked fine but obvs I want to get proper pipes, starting to get rather annoying with the topping up, coolant smell etc lol

Hi,

I've turned off all email notifications except for posts on the model specific mark 8 board.  However I still get a highlighted posts email come in each week.  I can't see where I can turn this off?

Any ideas folks? Ta. :smiley:

Standard oil service via my service plan and got a new battery fitted which will hopefully deal with the battery going low during the winter months. The service tech told me I will need new rear brake pads within the next 4,000 miles which will be the first replacement elements of the brakes. I did think the front discs would be first, but he said they will be OK for a while yet which is great news!

Car is also six years old today and still love it as much as a did when I got it nearly three years ago!

Looking at the right arrow, it could be the pipe connected to it isn't making a good enough seal.
