Volkswagen parts reviews

So the new set of plugs arrived, so switched out them along with new wires, since two broke during work (Magneti Marelli) and since I already tested and bought a new coil pack basically the whole ignition system's now revamped.

So far after more than two hours of driving, no problems, but Im really careful since I dont wan to find out Im wrong, but it feels ok.

The old plugs where NGK, and after pulling them, their resistance measured on average about 4 kohms.

I kept the previous set, which where Beru's and they measured ~1.4 kohms.

The new set is Bosch, and Im going to stay away from NGKs since I drive a little bit sporty, lasted less than two years, and (I think) 20'000 km.

I just did mine today. Used VW haldex fluid for the AWD haldex, and Amsoil SevereGear 75W90 in both the front and rear bevel boxes.

This is really straightforward to do. I replaced mine last September and was concerned about coding or needing to go to the dealer. My 2017 required none of that. Just take the old battery out and put a new one in. You'll have dash lights on afterwards, but all you need to do is turn the wheel all the way to one side and then the other.

I just had this exact issue with my MK6. It was scary how much it was vibrating. I even had that 75MPH+ vibration and was convinced it was the suspension or a wheel.

The engine and transmission mounts were completely shot. New engine mounts and everything is back to normal.

if you're going to take it back to the dealership, ask them to mount a different set of wheels and tires to eliminate that finally.

also, when was the last time your brake disks were replaced? it's not uncommon for brake dust to build up in the rotor and cause an imbalance. simply use compressed air or water to clean out the inside of the disk and see if it improves.

Motul 8100 x-clean 5W40 seems to be the sweet spot, all of my friends drive it in EA113/EA888 engines.

I religiously use LiquiMoly Molygen in my GTIs, nothing else

when you lose traction, it feels like it will never get to a stop (and that's with Nokian Hakkapeliittas).

I'm running the Passat arms with RS3 bushings. Honestly, they haven't made a lick of difference other than maybe being a little noisier. There are better ways to spend your money.

I then changed to a hotter plug the Bosch Platinum plugs and again gapped to .28. Once again the plugs fouled shortly after starting and driving for a few minutes.
