Continental Tires

Continental 175/70 r13 tires imported from Italy in July 2020 (at substantial expense \ud83e\udd23) to wrap this set of 82 Jetta wheels for my resto-mod. Finally got them painted to my satisfaction in reflex silver. Searched all of US and Canada for Continental 175/70s with no luck.

Pros: painted to satisfaction
Cons: substantial expense

Vredestein Tires

  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

Actually just got those tires put on barely 2 weeks ago, took advantage of the rebate and good price on tire rack. I wasnt familiar either with the brand but after doing some research they are very well known and liked in Europe, they are made in Holland. I didnt want to buy new wheels til next summer so ended up getting the stock tire size 235 35 by 19 on the stock wheel. i cant speak on how they perform in the snow quite yet but so far so good, they give you a 10-15% stiffer ride specially in race mode compared to my stock goodyear summer tire but i was expecting that. so far so good! Specially for the price im a fan.

Pros: good price, stiffer ride
Cons: stiffer ride in race mode

OEM Volkswagen Water pump

  • Leaks:
  • Overheating:
Rating 1.0

I was sitting at an In-n-Out drive-in when the low coolant warning dinged. Drove it the 2 mi home while keeping an eye on temps and popped the hood. The overflow tank was 75% empty and there was an apparent leak. By the end of the hour, it was completely dry. Got it towed to the local dealership and it took a day to diagnose and another day to get my car back. I'm grateful it didn't blow during my little road trip.

Cons: catastrophic leak, tank empty, towed
Mileage: 45061 km

Rating 1.0

Hi, I have a MK6 2.5L Golf that I changed the oil in at 78,510 miles (126,350km) and is currently at 81,260 miles (130,775.3km) only 2,750 miles (4425.7km) later. I happened to catch a ticking so I checked the oil and the dip-stick/oil pan was bone dry.

Cons: oil pan bone dry
Mileage: 126350 km
