I put DWS 06+ on my 2016 GTI S at about 93,000 miles. At 142,000 I still have some tread left. They're far superior to the OEM Bridgestones (H rated? Seriously, VW?) I replaced those with TAs and they were pretty good, but the Contis are much better.
Hey OP! I bought those exact ones for my 2013 MK6 Jetta 2.5 SE and they work and look great on my car
Last weekend I did DSG fluid and filter, LiquiMoly oil flush and oil change, and tire rotation on my B6 Passat.
One of my inner rear pads went at 110k. FCP euro has a full brake kit front and rear rotors with Zimmerman and TRW ceramic pads for around $400. It's OEM style replacement, so no real upgrade performance to speak but it's a daily not a track car and the price was right.
Zimmerman blank rotors + TRW pads. I just did my first brake change and these are silent and cost less than $400 for rotors/pads/bolts/grease.
The main party piece of the TCR/Clubsport/R engine is the IHI IS38 turbocharger. It is optimised to keep building power higher up in the rev range, where the regular GTI's IS20 runs out of puff.
Not the 02 but I had a set of the Conti ECSs on my stage 1 MK7 R and loved them. Great wet traction, especially under power, and they were fairly quiet. I also have them on my current E92 M3 and they've stood up very well to two track days so far. Loads of dry grip.
I work in the automotive industry; and by far, Liqui Molly, Motul, and Total exceed Mobil 1. Mobil 1 has the recognition and they worked hard at marketing for many years. Independent German studies conclude that they are 3rd place at best when it comes to \"good quality\" oils.
Just wanted to update this thread. I too have a 2013 vw beetle. I originally put on the mk5 r32 front calipers which was rubbing on my rims. They were squeaky and the brake response was way too much when just pulling out when first started.
So I changed the fuel filter carefully and was disappointed that it didn't seem to improve.
