Recently serviced it myself and replaced brake pads all round. The fronts were easy but the rear caliper was a complete B'stard to get off!

Car got hit!  :angry:

Parked in street outside house and not used coz battery went dead.
Went out yesterday morning to take battery off to charge it and note on windscreen.
Some neighbour had clipped rear with a hire van.
Broken rear light cluster and a scrape on bumper and wing.

Hire van insurance sounds like problems!  :angry:

If it wasnt for the broken tail lights it would match the scrape I did on the front wing!  :grin:

Yea I know but as its getting close to a holiday away I am in no rush. Would rather take the Passat to Gatwick than the Golf, so will get it done after the hols.

hope it goes well. its always a bit of a concern when its insurance work. at least its the other party's insurance so you can insist on it being spot on.

how have the a8 wheels lasted? i had a set of 19" reps on my transporter a while ago and took them off after 2 months as the lacquer started to lift.
