Volkswagen parts reviews

I bought a two pack 24” and 19” Bosch wiper blades from Amazon specifically for VW Jetta and Passat for around $18.

Now I have Nokian WRG5's on my Jetta GLI 2025 which is FWD only and they feel amazing. Much lower road noise than CC2's and MPG did not take a hit, with CC2's I lost about 3 MPGs. Nokian feels solid in every weather you can put it through including Ontario winters given black ice doesn't catch you by surprise.

Owned an 06 Rabbit, 2.5, auto, for 8 years. 90k to 230k, and wouldn\u2019t hesitate to own another. Dual mass flywheels, vac pump leaks (autos), and valve bodies are the Achilles, otherwise these are solid.

I tried to buy a filter, a bosch is a decent choice, but I wasn't able to find it, or I should import it for 100 sar ( which is expensive, most filter sold for 20 to 50 sar where I live - saudi arabia -)

Continental for timing belt and Geba water pump. Gates is fine for accessories belt not timing due to more recent production issues. I will get a gates for any of our 5 vehicles for an accessories / serpentine belt but not for timing.

Spend your money on GOOD TIRES before boosting the performance. The car gets very torquey when tuned, and if you don\u2019t have rubber that can grip the road consistently, you will find yourself spinning if you start out a bit too exuberantly. I have Continental ProContact all seasons.

If you're already in there at 101k, replace the water pump and thermostat. That's the only thing that's gone bad on mine 'prematurely', at 85k miles.

2023 Tiguan @ ~52,000 miles. I took mine to the dealer after getting low oil lights. I had no oil puddles, so I knew it was burning it somehow. They took a camera and did their tests and told me they are replacing the cylinder head.

New Beetles are definitely underrated. They do have some weak points though. The Turbo S brakes are barely adequate for touge.

it ain't a piece of shit VW water pump - the impeller isn't made of plastic composite!
