Volkswagen parts reviews

I got the ceramic TRW pads from FCP euro. You can find them from ShopDAP, VW dealership, etc. There’s multiple OE suppliers that all work great: TRW, Pagid, Textar. You can also go for the semi metallic equivalent if you want a little extra bite. I believe they all come with the wear sensor, you can simply cut it off at the base and pull out the wire. I’ve done this twice now, no problems. I suppose you could use the advance auto ones if you already have them, but just know they probably won’t give you as much bite as the stock pads, and may end up causing some warping over time since they aren’t designed for the heat temps.

I've had my '88 GLI 16V for over 20 years and always used mobil 1 15W50 without issues.

You can run NGK Rutheniums, i run them on with my is20 and no complaints either.

Ever since I did the led turn signal swap, it is quite bright for sure.

I swapped for Rutheniums, No complaints and its a easy job

With the redline, my car barely burns any oil, and significantly less is directed to my catch can. Night and day difference.

I installed some new brakes and after looking at all the options I went with FCP’s bundle of Zimmerman drilled rotors and EBC red pads. I’m normally not a fan of drilled as my first set of drilled rotors back in 1996 warped and since then I’ve gone with just slotted. Since the mass is so great on the 345mm rotors I felt there would be enough mass to stay true/straight. FCP’s lifetime warranty helped seal the deal on these brakes.

After only 17500 miles, my '18 Tig's battery decided that it's not going to hold a charge very well anymore. The original battery was an EFB from Banner. The current batteries available are Varta/Johnson Controls (vendor: JCB) made in Germany P/N: 000.915.105.CC. Hopefully the AGM will perform better.

The new LM MolyGen or whatever it is called is not as good as the oil that was discussed thoroughly in this thread. I strongly recommend you stick to the LM Leichtlauf (part number 2332). If you engine sounds \"angrier\", and if that's not in your head, then that is a bad thing.

I installed a new (rebuilt) Bosch starter, and made sure to take the old copper bushing out and put the new one in with a little grease. Went to start the car and.. same exact thing. One click, battery gauge shows something pulling load, and no crank.
