Bosch Fuel pump
ToddA1
  • Starting:
  • Stalling:
Rating 4.0

If this pump wasn\u2019t leaking, I doubt it would have run properly. Some parts weren\u2019t moving freely.\u2026 the governor collar needed to be pried off, lubed, and exercised to slide normally. Advance piston was also frozen.

Pros: cleaner than before
Cons: parts weren't moving freely

Continental Tires

  • Ride comfort:
Rating 3.0

Our 2018 came with the 20" Contis and from new, there's been a vibration at highway speeds. Had all four wheels balanced twice and it didn't completely go away, and the second time the dealer tech said one of the tires was slightly out of round.

Cons: vibration at highway speeds
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 35000 km

OEM Volkswagen Water pump

My mk6 went through THREE water pumps. All covered under warranty because a class action lawsuit forced VW to extend the coverage period several years, but still a pain in the ass. What's frustrating is that VW kept replacing them with the same faulty pump instead of addressing the problem and redesigning it.

Cons: frequent failures, faulty design, pain to replace
