Changed it at 9 years / 93k. Belt was still fine but the water pump started to leak so did the timing belt job at the same time. Also upgraded the water pump with one with a metal impeller

They recommend 10 years or 120k miles I pushed mine till 11years and 160k miles but when I removed my original belt it had a significant crack in it from dry rotting
I run Blizzaks on the factory wheels and summer tires on my Turbomacs. I've run just about every brand of snow tire you can imagine and I find the value to be where Blizzaks live. The roads are trash here in upstate NY for 8 months out of the year and I drive a LOT.
I have Zimmerman rotors with Textar pads on my 19 alltrack. I’m actually looking at these for my Tiguan too!
então decidi retirar as velas que deveriam estar carbonizadas pela queima incompleta para inspeção, porém já que ia retirar as velas troquei as mesmas pelas especificadas no manual dl do veículo (vela de grau 5 de três eletrodos) ngk, o carro ganhou potência e lenta mais estável em baixa rotação, aquece mais rápido ao ligar pela manhã, só não conferi o consumo ainda.
I used General Tire Altimax 12 studded tires on my 2017 VW Golf Sportwagen for the 4 winters that I lived in central Maine and absolutely loved them. Great winter tire especially for the price.
Wheels from Tire Rack with Michelin Ice-X tires. Great setup - saved us the first year when we were caught in a terrible ice storm near St Louis, when nobody was moving and we drove around all the stalled traffic.
Battery died July 2022. So got 3 years out of it. New battery is AGM (OEM VW from dealer). Stock battery was not AGM.
the ckra turbo is absolute garbage. You need to have an upgrade in mind because it's not about IF it'll fail but when. Regardless if it's stock or tuned. It just sucks.
even a simple job like changing the alternator is difficult due to where they place it. There's not a ton of space to work on the car in the engine bay.
