40K service

We're passed 40K km.
This is the regular oil change service, but it was done with some little additions.

Oil: Engine oil (Valvoline SynPower 5W-40, VW 502 00).
Filter: Mann HU 719/6x.

Also, the cam follower was replaced with the new one.
I'll show you comparison, that may be interesting for the 2.0 TFSI car owners. Two cam followers, that you can see in the picture below, passed 20K km.

Cam followers after 20K km.

The left one worked harder, because of HPFP upgrade. In general, the higher fuel pressure leads to the higher wear of the cam follower. The right one was installed prior to this upgrade and worked with the stock fuel pressure.

The brake fluid was changed from standard DOT4 to ATE TYP200 DOT4.

ATE TYP200 brake fluid

 Its advantage is higher boiling point, then stock fluid, that critical in the hard working conditions. Also the suggested change interval for this fluid is 3 years as opposed to only 2 years for the stock DOT4.

The brake lines was changed to stainless steel ones from HEL performance.  

HEL brake lines

This line kit eliminate that 'spongy' feeling often found with rubber hoses under extreme braking condition. 

That's all for now.
