citigo David's Citigo 2.0

[Hyphons]

If we could remove all the R badges on our Golf, we would!

Q? Why did you remove the rear wiper, not much rain in Dorset?

' Tis a nice little motor though, a bit too small for us oldies, but very nice............

Like the look of it which is why the Citigo is so small you can easily see who's behind using the wing mirrors if need be, but I've never had a problem seeing out the back in the rain as the glass cleaner I use keeps it mostly seeable through

Noticed when changing the wheels the rear shocks are leaking a bit, they still compress, but I've put a parts inquiry in with KW to see if I can get a couple spare, I bought these second hand so I don't know what kind of abuse they had before I purchased them, better to be safe than sorry

Just tried to see if the new brakes are worn in enough for the old wheels to fit, it's a negative sir

Thought I'd see if the old wheels fit without spacers too, thank God I have spacers is all I can say, they don't clear either! They actually move which is more than the Snowflakes, but the wheel catches on the 2 pins sticking out

Cheeky 1 year on update, these wheels do fit without spacers, the bloody garage that did the brakes for me put the pads on the wrong way round

Redid the intake pipe again, I did want a cold feed from the fog.. but didn't think it was possible, I was wrong, the headlight came out and I used a second intake pipe and, got it working, very chuffed with result, the one poking out the grille was hilarious, but a bit "in your face"

How it looks at the moment

Is that not an "INSIDE" pad that has been fitted to the outside??

2 different depths of springs on the pads...

Silver long to piston side and shorter black spring to outside..

It looks like that is the piston side as said.

I hadn't seen that post, apologies, you may be potentially correct. I did notice yesterday they stick out further than the caliper on the drivers side where as on the passenger side, they don't.

[Stormchaser]

Inner and outer could be mixed David. Better safe etc.

David its a slightly shorter and different shaped spring and it mates against the outer part of the caliper usually they are black coloured for the outside.

Its an easy mistake to make and one that you will never do again the next time you fit pads   

Everyday's a school day

It wasn't me that fitted them, it was a garage

David where's the videos?!

[Outofthi5world]

Pads are on the wrong sides, outside clips are shorter and don't bend back on themselves like that.

Ask and you shall receive  

 

 

The afternoon session is uploading as I type, really chuffed with the lap times too, back in May I was averaging 3:37 a lap, this time round I was able to get a couple of 3:33 lap times towards the end of the day.

Always does dude , but you weren't slow. I had the most fun as a passenger ride as I've had in any car.

[Hyphons]
