    Post newbie - B5 S4 - help with finding bits

    First time on this forum , got B5 S4 - my dream car.

    Need help in finding DVD for Sat Nav Plus, any ideas?
    Plus, keep warping front discs (due to my driving style, I keep getting told ), any recommendations on better aftermarket discs?
    Thanks

    Could the discs be because of ABS use? I had that on a VT Commo (I know, I know...) which needed new discs because the ABS bite-release-bite-release process fairly gnawed at them.

    Sorry I can't be of any real help. Sweet car though. I'd love a red manual one. Mmmmm.

    Where have you got discs from in the past, the dealers or aftermarket?

    Fitted OEM rotors last time. got about 14K out of them before started to feel the wobble thru the pedal. Not happy considering cost
    Assume need to change discs and pads - calipers if I'm serious - what about uprating the hydraulics

    i recon you are using super hard pads, like bendix or ate. Go textar, we use them at work and they are always perfect.

    Yeah Texstar are good and soft so look out you will have black mags with dust. Bendix GCts are the go, no noise and little dust
    Done a set on a Passat V6 ( mother in laws) 3 mnths ago no dust on the mags. Had ATEs before and the wheels were caked
