Volkswagen parts reviews

Vredestein now definitely has the segment performance leader in the Quatrac Pro for "all-weather" tires available in large wheel sizes and low profile sizes (my wife's new Impreza will be getting the Michelin CrossClimate+, but not available for our Arteon).

They are bright enough at night to shine a little bit in the front of the car but by no means are they "good fogs." I find the headlights in this car adequate to not really need fogs but all the same, I like the look of them and they are not distracting to oncoming drivers.

Neuspeed Bronze RSe16 17 x 8" Wheels on Pirelli Sottozero 3 235 45R17 97V tires!!! Should be good

I am running 235/35/19 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3’s on the OEM Englishtowns. In terms of performance, I would say they are really good I didn’t have any issues with braking or accelerating

I feel like the engine sounds a lot better, and feels better running 4200 vs 6200, both of which are VW spec oils...

Picked up a Duralast Gold from Autozone back in July for my GLI. $155 after returning the OEM battery for the core refund.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS06’s are excellent. Same size as the summer tires on the Golf R. Excellent winter traction, I’ve had these on all my GTI’s, and I just put them on my new R.

Only after 3 months replaced with Yokohama Advan Sport A/S.

Current review on them is:

Dry pavement: A+ (I can take turns like a race driver on bare pavement and still feel safe)

Wet Pavement: B (Only problem I’ve had starting aggressively is on wet pavement with road markings on them, seems good on corners and doesn’t hydroplane on really wet pavement, but loses traction with hard braking on very wet pavement)

Roughish Roads: A- (my car has low clearance and low profile tires but got by easily on FS roads with medium rocks and being careful. It gets the minus because after driving 75 miles on semi rough FS roads and getting back to pavement, I pulled to the side of the highway and had a metal chunk lodge into the sidewall ruining the tire)

I pulled the fuel injector rail and reconnected everything outside of the engine and found 2 of the reconditioned injectors were not firing even when switched with working ones.

Replaced the plugs -- BKR8EIX per the hstuning blog. I'm still getting the misfires...
