So I went with Bilstein w/ H&R Sports. Also keeps with the H&R theme as the car came with an H&R RSB \ud83d\ude01. Suspension is finished now, also added Megan Racing Adjustable rear control arms, and it rides great now.
Volkswagen parts reviews
I’ve used Hella brand on my 2016 Jetta on two occasions for the rear sensors. Lights went off both times. They were less than $20 apiece when I bought them.
I chose to go with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s, which are all seasons with the M+S and the snowflake. I drive a VW Atlas SUV and so far these tires have been very impressive in the snow.
Only change I have made is putting on Michelin Pilot 4 all weather tires 235/40/19s on the stock wheels. A little more sidewall for a better ride and no problem with rubbing. My only gripe is the turbo lag but once it kicks in it does just fine.
I often find Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX at 37$ for 5L at Canadian tire. They are all great oils.
I use Mobil1 ESP 0W-30 personally
Faulty ignition switch....my VW dealership doesn't have it in stock and is on backorder. Thank you to everyone that posted or responded to this thread as it was a huge help.
I’ve got ebc red stuff pads on my non performance GTI and they are ok. I probably will get something different next time around. They do dust a bit, probably the same as oem.
Stop using the Rain-X fluid. It leaves a film/build up on the inside of the reservoir and on the level sensor. You’ll need to pull the sensor and clean it, after that only use the good old blue stuff and you’ll never have the issue again. This happened to me on my 2018 Tiguan and my 2007 Jetta. Rain-X changed the formula for the orange stuff a few years back and that’s when people started having this problem.
Full replacement in October and 3 star chips filled this month. The replacement was a nightmare, they ordered OEM, but didn't realize there are different windshields for different trim levels until they'd installed it and couldn't connect the rearview mirror. Can't say its a defect since it was a decent sized gravel each time while driving 75.
