The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee

[Senor_Taylor]

Okay. Update. I nutted up and spent money on pads from the dealer. I spoke to a lot of people who source parts and no one was sure what would fit my car except EBC and StopTech, which I wasn't too keen on. I don't plan on Tracking the GTI anymore (hopefully) and these pads did VERY well and never faded, so I think it's a safe bet to throw them on.

I'll report back if they don't fit, but I'll post the part numbers here:
Front: 8vo-698-151-c
Rear: 1k0-698-451-k

ECS claims these fit the A3, the M7 GTI, Mk7.5 GTI and the Mk7/7.5 Golf R. This would imply the PP from the Mk 7 has the same calipers from the Golf R, which I don't think is right. VWPartsVortex lists these pads as "Description:
Golf R. GTI. With r. With performance brakes." Oh well. Let's see if they fit.

Also checked and my head unit screen is in, so I'll schedule yet another dealership visit to have that installed. I need to leave my car overnight so they can witness the seizure inducing flickering/flashing my LED map lights do when the car is ice cold. Not sure when I'll have time to do that. Do I have any recourse here? Can I write a letter to VW explaining how much trouble this car has caused me? I like the car and would buy it again (I think) given the chance to do everything over, but I feel like I want at least like a free hat or something for my trouble.
