Volkswagen parts reviews

I just use LiquiMoly 0W-20 with the VW spec

The 508 spec gets you better mpg and less dirty emissions. Gotta look at the bottle carefully. Mobil ESPX2 0w20 has that spec.

I bought Conti Viking 7s this year for our Golf 7 wagon. I have to say that I'm very impressed with them. Again, never lost confidence in them in the worst weather we've had this winter.

Right now I'm getting by this crazy amount of snow, ice, and low temperatures with the stock perelli p-zero all seasons. I thought they would be bad but they are some of the better all seasons I have had in the snow. Although I find them to be quite lackluster in the dry and wet, so it makes more sense.

My putt putt TDI gets around good in Edmonton on a set of Hakkas. Yall should be fine haha

My VikingContact 7’s made it look easy lol

I googled today to see if the STP Euro synthetic oil was 502 00 and the answer came back as - should be but to actually be able to put 502 00 on the bottle companies have to pay for it to be certified and STP probably just doesn\u2019t want to pay.

Stock mk8.5 with the stock p-zero all seasons, it's been icy, -10f to 15f, and a few inches of snow daily. Drove it through 8" of snow where my bumper was plowing snow. Pretty impressed. Most important thing is tires, I really wish I had snow tires. I have to drive slow and brake early especially with the ice. Luckily these tires seem to prioritize braking. If you don't turn or accelerate slowly they start to lose grip fast.

Got Bilstein coilovers Summer 2024, new socks mounts, the whole 9 yards...the other day I heard reaaly bad clanking thought maybe it was a bad sway bar end link...NOPE. Completely obliterated shock absorbers. They were brand new too.

The only sour note was that the factory Pirelli P6s were garbage, replaced three of them by 10k mi due to sidewall knots, broken belts, etc. Plus they were useless in the rain.
