Valeo Ultimate 20/24TB are the same as the OE blades, no adapters required. I've always bought Icons for other vehicles but these are a better choice for the VW IMO.
Yes, its great! Off the bat the car has a bit more character, the exhaust note has a slightly different tone to it, you get more pop and crackle on the shifts and you hear more turbo noise. The powerband is smoother, stock it seemed peaky and fell off a bit towards redline, with this setup it just keeps pulling much harder. Overall, totally worth it!
If you are trying to figure out if you have a ZF or Saginaw it is easy. Look on the back side of the pump near the bottom. If you see a ZF inside a partial circle it is a ZF pump.
Have original brakes on it at 66000 miles.
I run 34 psi on the oem sincerras with the alltrack, no issues, tire wear is normal. At 38 the ride gets too stiff. For city driving it is a good compromise.
The 2.0 manual transmission will go forever. My 2002 2.0 manual made it to 297,000 before it was murdered by a F-250 who rear ended me.
the PS4S’ have been the best performance street tire I’ve used, im on my second set.
The water pump on my 2017 mk7 lasted nearly 100k miles before crapping out on me. :( Quite a pricey repair job, that was.
I've posted on here before, but my front rotors were grooved from the day of purchase (only a few lines), and has progressively gotten worse. Of course, last tech inspection, the tech said I had warped rotors, and needed a new set.
It looks like you got the C-tek ones, which don't have any protective coating on the non-wear surfaces, which is why you see the rust.
