  • Braking:
Rating 5.0

Just finished installing these. Added EBC blue stuff and APR lines. Motul 600 fluid. I should add I did the same in the back but just went with one-piece stoptechs. notes: they are awesome and to top it off they do look amazing.

Pros: awesome, look amazing
Cons: 19 inch wheels required

OEM Volkswagen Starter motor

  • Cranking:
Rating 4.0

Starters don\u2019t generally \u201cslow down\u201d with age, really. You\u2019ll just find that one day it quits working. I had a failed starter on a 2002 Jetta, probably at around 290-300k miles

Pros: quits working suddenly
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 482803 km

VALVOLINE Engine oil
WillSy2
  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 3.0

I just found this thread. I have a 2014 Jetta 1.8t with 107k that I bought for my daughter two years ago and it burns through a quart of oil about every month. It dropped cyinder 1 similar to what the other person experienced, but new plugs and ignition coils solved the problem.

Pros: solved the problem
Cons: burns through oil
Mileage: 172201 km

OEM Volkswagen Water pump

IDK - I was at 160K or so miles when I sold my '11 Tiguan. Sure, it ate a water pump, had the first gen timing chain tensioner replaced, needed cv axles, had a stuck fuel injector, lost an intake manifold, blew a turbo diaphragm, destroyed its engine mount bushings, struts and shocks went bad, needed seat covers replaced because they cracked and split and needed new tires every 25K or so...

Cons: ate a water pump
Mileage: 257495 km

Duralast Water pump

Big problem with Duralast VW water pumps! The impeller is always made wrong or pressed too shallow, and rubs against the backwall and lockes up the pulley.

Cons: impeller made wrong, rubs, locks up pulley
Vehicle: Volkswagen
