Your Tires' Secret Weapon: Rotation Basics

https://kingdomoftires.mplkd.com/making-sense-of-it-what-is-a-tire-rotation-really

#TireRotation #CarMaintenance #TireCare #EvenTireWear #ExtendTireLife #AutoTips #VehicleUpkeep

Checking #VW #GolfGTI with #VCDS to measure #camshaft adaptation phase position on intake and exhaust (this can warn you if the timing chain is stretching).

Position (with a warmed engine on slower idle) is <5,0 degrees so all is OK here (the chain should be good to about 93205 miles / 150 000 km, particularly with more frequent oil changes)

The mechanics stool / creeper from #LIDL is worth getting if you see it in the middle shelf (I use it so I can put the #Thinkpad #T430 on the drivers seat to reach the #OBD2 connector and sit on the stool with the drivers door open to monitor whatever is on the screen (ofc this only works for tasks where the car is stationary, but if you want to do on the move diagnostics/datalogging you need 2 people anyway for safety)

This is #VCDS in action on the T430 with a HexNET USB adapter connected to #OBD2 (a lot faster than #OBDEleven and less flaky)

I brought the #Lenovo #Thinkpad #T430 (that I used before I got the P50 on the right hand side of the photo with the #Filofax and pen case on top) back to the office reformatted it and installed Win11 with Rufus and created a more "minimal" user profile (with fewer directories downloaded from Onedrive and Dropbox) for myself to use with #VCDS (the P50 is bulky when working on the car with limited room inside, it does not sit well on the front seat and is awkward to use, and VCDS doesn't need a particularly large screen.

I will add another user profile so the T430 can also be used as a standby machine in my office (such as when new staff do online training courses)

Got a #DSG oil change done this week (it wasn't clear if the #GolfGTI had ever had this done, I only had partial service history).

My usual mechanic didn't have the kit to do it, but a work colleague knew a lad (her grand daughters partner) who could - he turned up in this modified MK5 GTI (also DSG6) to collect my car and take it to his workshop (just up the road from where I work), so I knew he would do a good job 😁

Apparently its tuned to about 480PS (certainly sounded like it)

tyre wasn't losing air quickly but I didn't want to take any chances, so early start the next day to drive to the #tyre garage - thought I might be needing new #tyres due to high speed rating, but thankfully it could be repaired (cost me £30, £5 more than similar repairs for Polo, not sure if it was cost of living increase or " #GTI tax", but having hauled around wheels myself for past few days I think the lad earned his extra fiver, they are heavy and he has to do that all day..)

Cleaned up front discs and calipers as well, 8mm on front #brake pads (tip - if you drive a Euro #car buy the peg that screws into the bolt holes, makes putting the wheel back on way easier)

Also got a proper Euro warning triangle that fits in the compartment made for it

#VW #GolfGTI #CarMaintenance

checked rear wheels and #brake discs/pads (there was more meat on the pads than I thought, still about 6mm left which is good,). Also took the opportunity to correctly line up the centre caps (the centre of the VW logo should point towards the valve).

Alas, discovered 1 (one) nail in rear left #tyre
