For my TDI it's literally just a standard oil change, and then fuel filter every 20k miles. Hardly an additional burden.
Volkswagen parts reviews
I choose H&R lowering springs and Bilstein B6 shocks. A system a little firmer than stock.
When my 2013 GTI hit about 90,000 miles I had the shocks/struts changed out to Bilstein B6, great ride quality and I had no intention of ever lowering the car as I commute to a city with terrible roads.
Mann filters have always been my go-to for my VWs and they've never let me down.
My 2017 Classic Edition has 24,500km just an oil change and Cabin filter.
I took it back in after setting the DPR to 2.5± 2.5 mA, checking again for any vacuum leaks, tightening down all the exhaust components, and changing out the spark plugs (again). I also checked the O2 sensor, it was fluctuating between .1v-.7v continuously.
Brisks are great plugs. Do be warned however, their groundstraps are softer than others and open gap much sooner vs other plugs. So you'll be checking them much more often and changing them sooner than the usual 10-15k tuned interval.
Just picked up a 2021 Tiguan SE, of course equipped with Giti\u2019s. So far in 15 miles of driving, they have a little road noise compared to my Bridgestones currently on my Alltrack
I managed to install my brake pads inside out on the rear of my MkIV Jetta. Noisy.
I had a K&N air filter in a NA engine VW. Some particles do get through as I could feel grit on the inside of the intake pipe past the airbox. I washed and oiled the filter per instructions.
