OEM Volkswagen Brake pads

I’m on 108000kms in my 2017 GLI and it runs like the day I bought it. I do the maintenance on time when needed and it is trouble free. So far all I’ve had to do is the brakes.

Pros: trouble free, runs great
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 108000 km

OEM Volkswagen Cylinder head
Hut VeeDub
  • Performance:
Rating 4.0

A second used head, this time from a 2017 model, was sourced and shipped for $600 ($500 for the head, $100 shipping) and was rebuilt by a head specialist. His bill was about $800 and included new exhaust valve guides, a valve job, milling/skimming the head, removing and replacing six oil plugs and thorough cleaning. Total cost for the rebuilt used head was $1,400, a relative bargain compared to the $4,000 VW wants for a bare new head.

Pros: cost-effective, good value
Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg

Continental Tires

I think the OP made a great decision in getting some Continental DWS 06 tires vs. using those summer tires. I have used Conti DWS 06 tires in Winter while living in Colorado, Maine, Mississippi and now Germany. For places like Colorado and Maine, I'd recommend the Conti DWS 06 as a 3-season tire and then using a dedicated Winter tire. For Mississippi, the Conti DWS 06 is all you will ever need even for the most severe MS Winter. For Germany the Conti DWS 06 is doing a great job, for the severe winter days that are quite seldom, I have my Atlas with 4Motion and All-Weather tires.

Pros: great job, good winter
Cons: dedicated winter needed

APR Intercooler

Just had the DTR6054 installed on my 2020 GTI along with IE catted downpipe. Went with the 93 octane option and other list of mods includes APR intercooler, APR cat back exhaust, and APR carbon fiber intake. Having had the APR STG1 tune for the last 18 months, I can tell you the power difference is significant, and overall engine and exhaust growl is noticeable.

Pros: power difference significant, engine growl noticeable

OEM Volkswagen Hydraulic lifters
Tsiqara
  • Ticking noise:
  • Noise change with rpm:
Rating 3.0

Hard to tell from the video but sounds like Hydraulic lifters noise. Hydraulic lifters got noisy after over revving the engine. Took car to the mechanic and he said to ignore it because it was not worth replacing/rebuilding at this point. The noise is exactly like knocking

Cons: noisy after over revving
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

OEM Volkswagen Headlights
mill3rni
  • Condensation:
Rating 1.0

I’ve been dealing with the same issue for months. Got into a minor fender bender that led to the driver’s side headlight being replaced. The first had damage to the high beam, the second arrived with a scratch across the lens, number 3 filled with condensation that turned into huge water droplets within a day, and number 4 is doing the same. All OEM headlights directly through VW.

Cons: damage to high beam, scratch across lens, filled with condensation
