Volkswagen parts reviews

so far I've got are H&R sport springs and Bilstein B8 shocks/struts

I never had an Audi but I have a 2009 VW Jetta that's still running, it's my grocery getter. The breaks have lasted since 2012 as insane as that is, there's still a 3/4th of carbon on the pads. I changed the oil all the time, grew up with a car dad. But if VW's are anything like Audi's just maintain it and it'll run for the next decade.

I did the timing belt water pump thing on my MK4 last year, and shortly after the test drive with fresh genuine VW antifreeze and while patting myself on the back for a job well done it occurred to me that I hadn't changed the thermostat. Sure enough a month or so ago when the first of the really cold whether started around here the temp gauge would only get to about halfway to normal during a trip to town and back. I tried the ol' cardboard in the grill routine for a couple of days until I got a chance to change the thermostat and that brought things back to normal.

I have a Y2014 2.5L JSW. I went to the BOSCH (a lot cheaper) route and 10K miles later, no problems.

I have used it cause it has less oil consumption for me and it has kept everything very clean inside like sludge. My mk6 2.5 loves it and runs like a champ.

I used R8 performance coils in my mk6 golf R. Have been excellent.

From what I heard they changed the pads on the 2020 because people complained the 2019 pads were noisy.

i had my brake pads and rotors replaced all round a month or two ago. mechanics quoted me $1000 but had it done by a family friend for around $700.

in the last 13 months of owning an ID.4 I've had 4 cracks, 2 requiring replacement. All cracks have been with OEM VW glass installed at the dealer. I'm at the point where I'm afraid my insurance will drop me if I make any more claims.

I've got a '23 VW. Fluid smells sickenly sweet, like burning antifreeze. I'll be glad when it's gone.
