I recommend you use your favorite VW 502 00 spec motor oil with an OEM Mann oil filter and change them at 5K miles. My 2008 Rabbit with the 2.5 CBTA engine has 153K miles so far and I can barely hear it idle.
I use the NGK 1675 and have and factory black coils and haven't had an issue. I have had issues with with other brands.
Having had GTIs with both halogens and LEDs and now the GLI, I find them very good.
Yes, get 16" Tig OEM steelies and hub covers, and have your VW dealer put on Nokian Hakkapellitas or Rotivas, that you can order on Tire Rack to ship free to the dealer or your local shop. Dont wait too long as these are the best winters you can buy
That's interesting. I have a '21 S and I'm very satisfied with the headlights, they are not as quite as good as the Passat's but they are way better than my wife's Ford. Mine seem perfectly aimed, maybe yours are off a bit?
Ours are great, no complaints.
After having the Febi TTRS bushing for a few weeks now I would highly recommend this upgrade. The steering feels much tighter, great feedback and much less "floaty" when weighted up in a corner. The overall feel is much more "solid" now compared to the worn stock bushing.
I'm running stop-tech sport pads and easily have eaten away 50% of the pad after 1 track-day - which I skipped two sessions of.
My experience with my 2015 - non-PP - is that the pads are about the worst that I have ever experienced. Material transfer on the front rotors was a constant problem...this stopping from 75 mph at the bottom of a long highway ramp...the pulsating changed in sync with how hot the day was and how hard I was using the brakes...I do not drive this car hard. I replaced everything.
I had been looking for a secondhand setup and got a great deal on these. I likely would not have chosen the Nankangs myself. Wet traction is awful, and I break loose from stoplights in dry conditions really often.
