BRIDGESTONE Tires

Great condition matching set of OEM 16 inch Volkswagen Borbet wheels with matching Bridgestone tires. Wheels have a couple minor small scratches as shown in pictures are very representative. Matching tires have about 9-10/32 of thread left, no patches. Used like new for less than half the price. Asking price will include center caps.

Pros: great condition, like new
Cons: minor small scratches
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Part number: 5G0.601.025

VIOFO Dash cam
kevinhsie
  • Image quality:
Rating 5.0

I finally have my dashcam installed today! What I did is pretty much what Jadar did here except I didn't open the A-pillar trim. It was too intimidating to me. So I modded the USB cable instead: I replaced the middle part of the USB cable with 22 gauge 2 pin wire I bought from Amazon. This size of cable can be pushed between A pillar and windshield very easily (with the help of a trim removal tool). I also didn't buy a factory hard wire cable. And instead I used a 12v to 5v buck converter that draws power 12v battery and outputs with a USB type A female port. The dashcam of my choice is viofo t130 so I get both the front view and interior view in a very small body.

Pros: small body, front and interior view
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Goodyear Tires

Rating 4.0

The Mk 8 came with some Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports and so far I am liking them a lot. They feel very similar to the PS4S, however I doubt they will last as long.

Pros: liking them a lot
Cons: doubt they will last

GKN CV joint

If you don't mind piecing it together, buy new joints and swap them onto your OEM axle shafts. GKN is a good cv joint brand.

Pros: good cv joint brand
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B5

Nokia Tires

Rating 3.0

I'm a little late to the discussion, but I had some Nokian all-weather tires for a couple years (on a Golf) they were better than all seasons, but definitely not as good as good winter tires in the, uh, winter.

Pros: better than all seasons
Cons: not as good as winters

Rating 1.0

switching to a new set of stockers showed me exactly how different the dimensions are. they look the same, but the fit is no where near the correct size for these carriers. the brembo pads bounced around like crazy. its alright i was able to return them but i was hoping to get rid of dust. maybe ill try to get a replacement set and see if they fit any better

Pros: able to return
Cons: dimensions different, fit incorrect, bounced around

Brembo Brake pads
Gbells124
  • Noise:
  • Dust:
Rating 1.0

just swapped out my original brake pads and rotors for some oem rotors with the brembo aftermarket pads hoping to avoid the dust that the original trw pads creates. all went well with install, everything seemed to fit nicely, but after about 10 miles the pads started jumping up and down in the carrier any time id hit a bump in the road. ive seen the threads talking about this issue with certain aftermarket companies, but figured id put it out there that brembo is another one that seems to have made their pads just a tiny bit shorter than original giving it enough room to slide up and down. side to side is fine, but the noise is unbearable for what it is. threw my oe pads back on and will be getting a new set of vw pads in the am. cant stand the dust but its wayyyy better than the car sounding like it did with those pads. these companies need to include shims or something.

Pros: avoid dust, fit nicely
Cons: pads jump, unbearable noise
Mileage: 10 km
