Volkswagen parts reviews

Have about 5k on the Vredestein quatrac pro xl, on the 17" oem wheels (alltrack s), so far I am pretty happy with them. I have driven them through some serious snow and I would say they perform noticeably better than the oem falkens. They handle the dry pretty well too. They don't squeal as much as the falkens did which is nice, I feel like overall just much better traction. These are the nicest tires I have purchased for one of my vehicles so far.

For spark, I wasn't sure I had the right plugs so I went with the OEM Champion plugs that were recommended in the Bentley. I checked for spark, no issues there.

I use Castrol Edge European Formula 0W40 for all of my VWs (2005 Phaeton, 2014 CC 3.6, 2017 Jetta SE and now a brand new 2019 Alltrack SE): I buy it from Amazon, for $ 24.47 for 5 qts. The oil has a "European Formula" label on the front and specifically states "VW 505. 00 and 502. 00 " on the back, and is made in Brussels, Belgium.

The rear hatch started to randomly pause while opening and closing, I would have to give it a hand assist to open and close it. I lubricated the struts and so far so good, it has been operating smoothly.

I got some Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0W40 which is VW502 00 approved. I decided to try this oil as their name is on the oil filler cap, as in the past with other cars I always used Mobil 1 0W40.

It is a low viscosity brake fluid though, so that's interesting, and says it's compatible with brake systems as far back as the 1990s so should be fine in our cars. Mine turns off now in about 5 seconds. Bosch ESI6 is the next generation brake fluid. It exceeds all current DOT standard requirements (FMVSS 116) First to simultaneously combine both low viscosity and high wet boiling point at its operation ESI coverage includes the majority of all brake systems launched since 1990; Use with DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1; Coverage excludes DOT 5 silicone based brake fluid which is limited to military and racing applications Excellent lubricity properties to prevent wear of components in the brake system and reduce noise Longer lasting: 100% longer than DOT 3, 50% longer than DOT 4, and 10% longer than DOT 5.1 (with 30% lower viscosity) Wet boiling point ~ 365 DegreeF/Viscosity at -40 DegreeC ~ 670mm2/s One size fits all: As Bosch ESI6 can be used to substitute almost any brake system launched since 1990 Bosch ESI6 helps reduce the stock of brake fluids thus saving storage space Featuring replacement intervals of 3 years Bosch ESI6 reduces corrosion

EBC red is great. I hated Hawk HPS for the same reason, especially in the winter.

Got mine this winter shortly after I bought a 2019 Alltrack S. Great in snow, rain, dry.

installed new Exide EK950 AGM 95AH to replace same model been there 3years. No change, and also former battery checks to be in nearly new condition still with measured 90AH capacity from fully charged to 10,5v 9hours with 10Amp load.

Misery loves company I know this thread is years old, but I thought I'd share my experience with my brand new 2017 Jetta SEL. We've had the vehicle for less than a week and it has less than 430 miles on it (bought it with 317 miles). Yesterday while sitting in a traffic jam due to a highway closure, my wife and I suddenly heard a loud boom. The rear window was completely shattered. We weren't moving, nor were any of the cars around us due to the highway closure.
