Volkswagen parts reviews

Just gonna put my 2 cents in, the slow crank is either the starter or the battery. At that age, if the battery tests good it is the starter.

You are totally good with Pilkington glass though I had Safelite replace my old Jetta with that brand and it’s as good if not better than OEM glass.

Did have my intake manifold replaced under warranty at 4k (~8 months of ownership). Has been solid since.

Got the Garmin dashcam mini2 Installed. Nice that Garmin makes the power source from the OBDII port so no hack wiring was needed. I can't even see it from my driving position. The Garmin app is pretty useful too

For reference, my 2017SE that I bought new and has been stage 1 since new car break in, has 197,000 miles on her. I last checked chain stretch maybe 3-4 months ago and was only seeing 1 degree.

Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.

I highly recommend Mann Filter (OEM for many Euro cars). The Chinese version of the ID4 comes with a dual filter setup. You can buy the two-piece set on Aliexpress.

The original glass in my Alltrack had small pits within months, even ended up with scratch marks from the ice scrapper. Had to get the windshield replaced a couple of years ago and they installed non OEM glass - still good as new.

I ran Achilles tires on my old VW and so did my buddy, this was 10ish years ago but they were terrible back then.

Mine is a 2019 (abiet a GTI) and it's on its 3rd water pump
