KONI Shock absorbers
pgapromex6969
  • Body bounce:
Rating 5.0

So first thing I ordered was a set of Koni sport shocks and struts. These were on sale for BF at $612 at Koni online store. When I drove the car home after it was unloaded I was glad I already had the shocks and struts as the steering was super light and twitchy, car did not know where it was going. After install the car was transformed, the Konis tightened up the steering and feel, car stays flat in the curves and feels more like a Porsche.

Pros: tightened steering, better feel
Cons: super light, twitchy steering

OEM Volkswagen Brake pads

No, no scan tool is needed at all for the fronts. They are basically the same as any other brake job. I actually found them easier than my other vehicles

Pros: easier than other vehicles
Vehicle: Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Windshield

  • Chips/cracks:
Rating 3.0

Yes. My wife and I purposely drive far behind other vehicles to avoid rock chips AND STILL we have a few chips on the windshield at 7000 miles. Frustrating but that's just how it is now.

Pros: avoid rock chips
Cons: few chips on windshield
Mileage: 7000 km

EBC Brake pads
AZCheng
  • Braking:
Rating 2.0

I had yellow stuff on my 7.5R, performed well on the street but it fall apart when I took the car on track. They seem not really coping with high heat senarios, bite significantly dropped towards the end of a 20 minutes session, and the pads is installed on AP Racing 8520 caliper with 380mm disc, never go back to EBC afterwards

Pros: performed well on street
Cons: fall apart on track

VALEO Heater core
SdsScotty2
  • Cabin heat:
  • Sweet smell:
  • Fogged windows:
Rating 1.0

I replaced the heater core in my 1991 mk2 8-valve RV coded engine in May 2022. I replaced it with a new Valeo unit I got off FCP Euro and the install went just fine. Every year I do a mid-winter start-up since I live in Minnesota and after running it last night for about 20 minutes the heater core popped and dumped a ton of hot coolant in my driver and passenger footwells...

Pros: install went fine
Cons: heater core popped
Mileage: 2500 km
