Rating 4.5

I've ran 2 seasons in a 3300lb Golf R with SR21 fronts and SR11 rears and they've been insane, in my humble opinion. One front set lasted 10+ events, with street miles in-between, and the rears are still the same originals I slapped in 2 years ago. Zero fade, crazy long life, and no chunking/glazing/side effects I can think of. Ran DTCs in the past, and I'd snag these in a heartbeat over any other pad I've used or seen firsthand. The only complaints I have is they bite HARD. Since these work from ambient they will throw you through the dash in the paddock if you aren't careful ???? The plus to that is no real warm-up laps needed. Sintered also stands up to heat extremely well since there is no resin to break-down, which means I can run titanium shims without it baking the pads. Outside that, they throw off some weird non-ferrous silvery dust. Nothing like most race pads where it'll cake everything in the wheel well. It's almost like a bit of gravel dust after every event. Then the price, depending on your pad shape. They're a little under $100 more than most pads in my case, but the life of them more than makes up for it.

Pros: long life, zero fade
Cons: hard bite, silvery dust

Uniroyal Tires

I just had the following installed on my mk3.5 cabrio (a Golf III for all intents and purposes) two months ago: 195/60R14 Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring They have been good so far, no complaints on my end and they were available at my local tire shop for install.

Pros: good performance, no complaints

OEM Volkswagen Timing belt

Glad you used lock tools. You could always reinstall tools to check. But if pin was in crank and bar installed hard to screw that one up for belt.

Pros: used lock tools
Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg

Bosch Wiper blades

Just installed the Bosch Icon 26OE22OE set on my 2018. Went on easy enough with adapter #4. No idea how well they work or how long they will last. I had the wiper chatter between 65 and 75 mph. Hopefully these resolve the issue.

Pros: easy to install
Cons: wiper chatter
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Part number: 26OE22OE

Continental Tires

Just this morning I changed out the Conti TX's for Conti DWS06's. Not something I wanted to do just after buying a brand new car, but already had a bubble on one tire. Didn't feel comfortable just replacing it. I replaced all 5, including the spare.

Cons: bubble on one tire
Vehicle: Volkswagen
