Volkswagen parts reviews

I’ve had my 2018 for over two years and have taken some serious hits on the windshield from gravel and have been surprised it hasn’t cracked.

I've got a big rock chip on mine I've been waiting for six months to spread and it won't.

almost 4 years under my belt in this car only one crack (sustained in what can only be described as windshield death valley on I-80 in WY)

As far as filters: Mann. If it's isn't Mann I won't put it in my car.

I use Full Synthetic ( Pennzoil Platinum). At 24K I really can't even tell the engine is running when I come to a stop, its just that smooth and quiet.

We've owned a 2018 Tig for ~3 years and would buy again. Reliability at 60k miles has been fairly solid. We did have a problem with the fuel injector harness at 50k miles and it was replaced under warranty. No other issues. The 8 speed transmission is agreeable, no complaints. As well documented elsewhere, it is not one of the fastest compact SUVs, and the engine when pushed hard sounds more like a tractor than a sports car. The total car though is better than its rivals for us. We are running Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires which sharpened up the handling, and it already was competitive in that area. With good handling, steering and visibility, the Tig is not just competent, but even a little fun to drive in its own right. Ours is the R Line SEL Premium. The adaptive LED headlights on this trim level are good. The interior is a pleasant place to be, and materials have all held up well.

2008 VW Beetle is a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder. Yeah, 5 cylinder. It takes 6.3 quarts

Brakes don't squeal, but, at least when they're cold, they seem to grind/shudder/skip (not a warped rotor type of shudder) at low speeds.

I am now at about 55k and the water pump failed on it causing it to overheat. I learned that the 2015 gen 3 TDIs have a variable water pump that fails quite often causing overheating - just a matter of time.

I had a bosch alternator in my Mark 2.. 8valve motor. I noticed the battery was not being charged. so instead of dealing with the voltage regulator or brushes etc, b/c the unit was old I decided to go with a brand new one. making me think i should have ponied up to the Bosch.
