Volkswagen parts reviews

Thanks - I just ordered 2 5-qt jugs of the 5W40, less than $25 each and free shipping. We use this in my 2016 GSW and my wife's 2007 A4.

TRW is the original brand manufacturing the control arms that are sold through VW and you can get those relatively cheap directly from TRW at least here in the US.

check the charging at the battery while the car is running about 2000 or 2200 rpm with multimeter. The alternator should be charging at 14 volts (give or take a little)

I have been running Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ for years on my dd 15 GTI S PP. They have been great, if fairly noisy as they age and or in colder temps.

The Continental DWS 06 were indeed better.

Centric ceramic brake pads.

I run this one in our 04 BEW TDI. No issues what so ever!

We do have additives / blended fuel during the winter at the pumps in Canada so you don't really need to worry but last winter I did get stuck because it was so cold for 2 days straight (over the weekend) and I didn't start the car till Monday that the fuel gelled up in the filter.

I bought a Mishimoto upgraded radiator. As far as I could find at the time, the only major concern about the Mishimoto radiator was that they had a penchant for leaking at the quick-connects machined into the inlet and outlet.

Oh, and my OEM tires Continental PureContacts wore out....fast! (And I run snows in winter). Crap tires I won't buy again.
