Replacement of the voltage regulator for PWM and DF signals with a voltage regulator for the LIN signal.









ℹ- I haven't tested it, but it should work perfectly. I'm keeping it in the garage storage room in case I need it in the future.

Some notes before replacing the brakes, brake fluid and rear shock absorbers.

Previously: viewtopic.php?p=610353#p610353


Use the right lubricants in the right places. The misuse of lubricating greases in modern brake systems is widespread. There are even places where lubricating greases should not be used.
Don't overuse lubricating greases, more isn't better. the layer should be thin, 'TRANSPARENT', not like you're spreading butter on toast.
Read installation manuals to learn about the big mistakes you're making... workshops, etc.

Example of brake fluid bleeding/replacement in our Golf with one-way valve.

The key is to prevent air from entering the system and not to use those rubber couplings (expensive or cheap) that attach to the bleeder valve, or by opening the bleeder valve too much.

POLO 6R. 1JS rear shock absorbers and rear discs and pads installed.

- According to erWin. Torques, etc...

Highlights.

PTFE (Teflon) and Silicone Lubricants.

The factory 1JP shock absorbers showed their age. They were still functional and capable of reaching their full travel when compressed, but they were too easy to compress.
Regarding the rear brakes, nothing to add, it's an overdone, recurring topic on YouTube/internet.

The old parts went to the recycling point. During the drive, I did some gentle braking to allow the new pads and discs to bed in.
At the recycling point, I noticed that the UV coating on the Brembo discs looks very nice.

POLO 6R. Front brake pads and discs installed.

A good video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQKMp6AQJYg

Note:
Before pressing the piston back into the cylinder with a piston resetting tool (e.g, prying with screwdriver), draw off brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir. Otherwise, especially if the reservoir has been topped up, fluid will overflow and cause damage.

I had to remove 60 ml of brake fluid because the brake fluid was changed and set to max level at a VW dealership years ago when the brake pads were only half worn.

I'll be replacing the brake fluid in a few days...

Installation. Highlights.















Caution! New ATE brake discs have a protective coating that must be worn down by the pads during the first few kilometers. Once this coating is worn down, braking performance will improve. The new ATE ceramic brake pads then leave a transfer layer on the disc for proper operation.

I took the used parts to the recycling point, but this time I did a longer test drive to properly bed in the front and rear brake pads and discs, transfer layers, etc. Naturally, the improvement is total in terms of braking, and especially in the new behavior of the rear shock absorbers. Now, cornering in roundabouts and tight turns feels like a brand new car. The handling is also excellent in normal or sporty driving on any type of road, without sacrificing comfort.

On one of the next summer days I will be replacing the brake and clutch fluid to complete the unscheduled tasks.



Happy weekend to everyone... without exception!

Some additional notes before replacing the hydraulic brake and clutch fluid.


Is your bleeding system (pumps, VAS) capable of not contaminating the new DOT4 hydraulic fluid after doing a couple of bleeds?




approx... +/- 0.5mm





I prefer not to take the risk with a 14-year-old piece of plastic and have the vehicle become immobilized in the middle of nowhere.



Trying to avoid inaccuracies in brittle plastic nut/bolt/bleeder subjected to 14 years of constant thermal changes.




The brake fluid will be extracted/replaced by pressure/pumping using the one-way valve method, and the clutch slave cylinder fluid will be extracted/replaced using a vacuum system.


I leave you here a video that shows how to bleed the clutch in less than 10 seconds. Quick & Easy Method Explained!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DINu_uOrr5E
I would choose the optional part, cleaning is essential, as well as the final test.

POLO 6R. Brake fluid replacement/bleed.

No comment.







Question for VOLKSWAGEN:
How old do you think this brake fluid is?

Possible scenarios:
- The brake fluid was contaminated by the VAS pressure testing machine at the VW dealership where I ordered and paid for the replacement.
- The brake fluid used by the VW dealership is not the recommended type.
- They didn't change the brake fluid but charged me for it.

Any other scenario is IMPOSSIBLE.

...you already know, the future is for those who deserve it...

Test:
It's essential to activate the ABS regulation two or three times. Do this on a track/road with loose sand/gravel to avoid unnecessarily stressing the tires and brakes.
Bleeding the brake fluid for the clutch slave cylinder will have to wait for a cooler day (below 35ºC ), or maybe I'll do it in the garage.





Have a good weekend everyone... without exception!

POLO 6R. Clutch slave cylinder. Hydraulic fluid replacement and bleeding (ciclo method).

A wonderful new day begins with extremely pleasant temperatures...

...it's possible some jerk will show up and ruin it.

Remove the air filter box according to instructions in a previous post.




Clutch slave cylinder.



Note: Plastic permeation, so that a native English speaker can understand it... without going into detail about the potentially super vague terms they use.

The magic happens when you release the clutch, so pay attention!
No more efforts are necessary... ...

Now the clutch pedal feels like new, very smooth and pleasant.

This morning, when the streets of the world still do not exist, while I was looking in the garage storage room for the tools to bleed the clutch, the 6R Automatic Lights (LH 30s) and the garage light (1,5min) finished their illumination time, fortunately the F-TRON and the Audi ENTRY Lights (previous improvements), with a super ridiculous/low consumption, illuminated my way.



By the way, it's not the same having the tools in your workshop as it is preparing them to do any job in the middle of nowhere. You can't forget any of the ones you might need.
As you can see from this thread, the only thing you don't need is the workshop itself.

To close the loop on the unscheduled tasks:

- Replacement of front shock absorbers, control arms/suspension links, anti-roll bar links/coupling links, and swivel joints.

Images of the front shock absorbers and springs ('Sport', not GTI) of my 6R 1.2 TSI R-line from the factory:

It seems that the shock absorber protection bellows came loose from the plastic fastening adapter.

With 100,000 km / 14 years, they still feel in very good condition. During the brake replacement, I verified that there are no signs of play in the suspension components or cracks in the rubbers.
I estimate that we will enjoy another 100,000km with our 6R, so it would not make sense to change these parts at 150,000km when the rubber parts and other elements have high wear.

These are the parts from the VW supplying manufacturers that I am going to change:













I don't know the best time to install these parts. I have other jobs going on with vehicles that aren't mine. Family members and 'associates' are taking advantage of my vacation to use me as a simple mechanic.

I'll install them following erWin's instructions and take pictures of the key moments, that is, pictures of how not to use hammers or forks to remove ball joints during these tasks.
