Volkswagen parts reviews

Cheapest non-VW timing chain kit I can find is around $300, OEM parts are around $600.

Got time to install my replacement clockspring and my 2012 vw beetle sterling wheel setup. It gives me the shape of a mk7 wheel, while still having the mk6 button layout. Everything works apart from clearing airbag light that been there for a year.

Upon disassembly, I found the KYB Excel-G shocks were completely shot and offered no rebound. I installed Bilstein B4 "Touring Class" units. The no-name aftermarket strut bearings weren't doing the suspension any favors either and I was glad to get the new German Febi units. So far, so good

Audi 4 piston front brakes - 26lbs lighter

Continental ExtremeContactSport DWS 06 Plus I just put a new set of the above (225/40/18) on my Winter wheels which are VW OEM Sevilla. They came on the 35th AE Jetta GLI. I had the DWS 06 and 06Plus on my MK5 and MK7 GTI - love them for an A/S tire. They are quiet, ride nice, superb wet grip, excellent dry grip, pretty good in Midwest snow.

I became a Michelin guy when I had a VW and swapped from Goodyear Eagles and suddenly the car was plush on rough pavement.

Now that you have an actual motorsports caliper I would highly advise looking into EBC's SR-11 or SR-21s pads.

They are THE ONLY pad that will take some insane abuse on track, still be whisper quiet on the street, and work just as well at 0 degrees as they do at 1000 degrees.

Myself and a handful of other guys run them in time attack and I seriously have zero complaints. You honestly won't find a better pad, if you happen to have a caliper they fit in.

I used both rowe 5w30 507.00 and the OEM VW HIGH PERFORMENCE 0w30 (yes 0w30) 507.00

I didnt notice any difference between the two . Wear on my oil analysis was about the same with both oils.

If your GTI is Mexico built(like mine), it probably has Groupe Vitro glass, as opposed to the Sekurit Saint-Gobain glass in the German built. Sekurit is a far superior product. Since day one, I have had waves in my factory Vitro windshield. I'll replace it soon. Hopefully, with a Sekurit.

Got my 2017 Golf Wolfsburg Edition at the dealer right now for its 40K service and got a call that after they finished up they found a leaking water pump.
