Volkswagen parts reviews

Check out getting rs3 spark plugs if it’ll work.

I use 165/80 r15 hankook summer tires and they are excellent, both wet and dry grip.

I replaced my old iron starter in my 84 GTI with the mk4 starter and what a difference (both spinning and weight!

After a massive blowout on 422 here in PA a few months back, and having HUGE bubbles in the sidewalls of two other tires and a large gash (no idea where this came from) of the spare that went on, I replaced all four with a set of Bridgestone RE980 AS+'s. What a difference in the way the car rides and grips. You can feel the Bridgestone's handle the bumps SO much better than the stock Conti's and there's much more grip.

Valve cover gasket held up no problem. Made sure it was to spec when I eventually got a torque wrench.

My problem (from 2+ years ago) turned oiut to be a bad starter. The solenoid must have gone south. A new starter motor fixed it.

I have them with APR Stage 1. R8 coil packs are not really an upgrade that people make them out to be... red = more performance.... Sure they came out of a R8 and V8 Touareg "BAR" engine code... but the coils make enough current to get a spark. The spark plug does the rest, and the features of the spark plug help with getting the air-fuel mixture ignited and burned. Because of the popularity of the red coils, you can often get them cheaper. I think last time I paid about $100 for the Bosch red coils from ShopDap.com

I put the CrossClimate2's on my 2015 Jetta TDI. 4% loss in fuel economy. Not only that but the car lost it's precise on center feel and required much more correction to keep in straight. Feels like driving on underinflated snow tires. I hate them and will replace them with the OEM Bridgestone Ecopias.

I just replaced my 2015 TSI 1.8 after it lost all compression on #4 cylinder. It is IS20 turbo with the APR tune.
