Inner Light posted:Has its own wiki article, thanks for posting so I could read about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_currywurst I told my friend who was shopping for a new Taos at a VW dealer about this, and when the sales manager asked what they could do to sweeten/close the deal, he told them that the currywurst must be included. They had no idea what he was talking about, haha. Guaranteed that Wiki page has had a couple more hits in the past couple of days

Mr. Apollo posted:I need to replace the rear pads and rotors on my 2019 RS5. I’m looking at using GiroDisc pads and rotors. Since I’m changing to different types of pads and rotors compared to the front, do I need to change the front as well as the rear? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times that it’s recommended to change the front and rear at the same time if you’re changing compounds. You don't have the ceramic rotors do you? I'm not entirely sure if changing both front/rear is required if changing pad compounds, but since it's an RS5 I'd go full hog and get a set like this with your pad of choice: https://www.034motorsport.com/dynamic-plus-braking-package-b9-b9-5-rs5.html. These seem cheaper than GiroDisc from what I could tell and 034 Motorsport is one of the most trusted VW/Audi aftermarket brands.

Mr. Apollo posted:No ceramic rotors. You are probably better off with conventional rotors as the ceramics are much more costly to replace. I've heard of folks having some screeching problems with them until they warm up, too I believe. Sounds like you can't go wrong with Giro or 034 all around. I would do the latter just cause I love their products and customer service.

I bought at the height of COVID lockdowns and CCBs weren’t available due to supply chain issues.

Mr. Apollo posted:Apparently Audi’s CCBs are pretty good as far as noise goes but yeah, if something happens to one of them it’s $12K per front rotor. Gotcha, I test drove one with CCBs and noticed no unwanted noise, not sure if it's a winter thing or not. Might need the 034 tune with your brakes (I am a bad influence)

lamentable dustman posted:I traded in my 17 a4 and got a 21 s5 sportback over the weekend Nothing I can think of. The only non-maintenance-related work I had done to my B9 A4 without my choosing was when the water pump/thermostat housing gave out it was leaking some coolant and needed to be replaced. I would imagine the S models use the same setup but not 100% sure. Enjoy it - B9 S4 owner now so I can help ya out. Advice 1: tune it
