Volkswagen parts reviews

I also got my OEM coils for free but i do now need to replace mine, and will be going Bosch.

I was running APR coils and went back to OEM. That helped. So did going to the Denso 5750 plug and getting an EQT grounding kit.

I have about 45k miles on a set of EBC greenstuff and StopTech slotted rotors. I’m not hard on my brakes and my pad life is still good. Much lower dust than stock and roughly the same bite/engagement as stock. Maybe slightly more sensitive.

I run Apr front rotors with yellow stuff pads on my mk 7 GLI and it’s such an improvement in track day performance

I ran r1 concepts ceramic pads and rotors on my mk6 and they were awesome for all 4 for under $450 with a 20% off coupon on their website

I have a non-pp GTI and threw on Centric blank rotors and powerstop z23 pads from Rockauto. Cost around $400 CAD including shipping and tax..super cheap.

No complaints about them, I would certainly buy them again. Very little brake dust but with a strong bite.

I run Mobil 1 15w50 in Colorado in my 1.8 8v 85 GTi. For camshaft insurance I add a zinc additive at oil change time.

I like them overall and they mostly fit. Technically, the passenger mats could go in the so not fitting thread. I wish Weathertech made laser fitted mats for Phaetons but these are the next best so far.

Routine maintenance at VW dealer alerted me to tire cracks. Cracks would be an understatement. The tires had 14,000 miles on them. They are meant to be under warrantee. The local tire store and I phoned each Vredestein and left messages. I wrote the company three times. No response.

I tried some Depo/Helix halogen projector headlights for my wife's 2.5 Jetta some years ago. The optics were terrible.
