MICHELIN Tires
Echidna
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.5

When I had my GLI, I immediately change the Hankooks out for Pirelli PZeros; they were way to stiff and made the car unstable. Swapped them out for Michelin AS 3+ which was a night and day difference. Relatively smooth and quiet ride, confident handling, excellent grip, good wet performance. I live in Southern California so I can't comment on snow. I used to have Contiental DWS06+ on my old 3 Series. Thats a great tire too, but more focused on comfort over the Michelin.

Pros: smooth ride, quiet ride, confident handling, excellent grip, good wet performance
Cons: too stiff, unstable
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Continental Tires

Just put the Continentals on my '19 GLI. Happy with them so far. they are top rated by Tire Rack customers. Replaced Michelin Pilot Sport which was very good on wet roads. Dumped the Hankooks not long after buying the car. Awful tires.

Pros: Continentals top rated, Michelin very good wet
Cons: Hankooks awful
Vehicle: Volkswagen

MICHELIN Tires

Our AS3 and my Continentals have historically worn smoothly, although the Michelin wear much better. Without really thinking about it I'm not sure how many miles we have on our AS3 but they are a lot of miles and even on the all-wheel drive car they have worn completely smoothly and evenly without a single hitch. Rotations with oil changes is all they get.

Pros: smooth wear, even wear, long lasting

GRAF Water pump

I ended up going with the water pump here: Graf Water Pump . There is no difference in engine performance or fuel economy with the new pump. But it will take longer to warm up, especially in colder weather.

Pros: more reliable pump
Cons: longer to warm up

OEM Volkswagen Piston rings
Superchud
  • Oil use:
Rating 1.0

I just went through this on my 2018 Passat SE with massive oil consumption. Get the dealer to do a oil consumption test. Mine failed on the 2nd test and had the rings and pistons replaced. Then it happened again less than 1000 miles afterwards (used 1.8qt in about 700 miles) and I just got my car back today after the long block was replaced (Basically they replaced the engine).

Pros: rings and pistons replaced
Cons: massive oil consumption
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 1609 km
