OEM Volkswagen Fuel pump
donnyglaze
  • Stalling:
Rating 5.0

So it looks like they solved the problem. Swapped out the fuel pump. I guess it was having issues with low fuel pressure. Said they metered it earlier but didn\u2019t find anything. Low and behold, it fixed it.

Pros: solved the problem
Cons: low fuel pressure
Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

Akebono Brake pads

I had an issue with the inner pads sticking on my Golf (same as A3 platform), but when I took apart the caliper and cleaned/regreased all the caliper pins the problem went away. If you've already done that, I really have no idea what it could be. It's definitely not normal though. What pads/rotors are you using? I've been using the Akebono's and they are great. Very little wear and dust.

Pros: great, very little wear and dust

MICHELIN Tires

With the crappy factory Continentals we immediately regretted not having 4-Motion as the traction wasn\u2019t the best in the wet or dusty (first wet) conditions. However, after changing to Michelin PS4 SUV tires we have found a new love for her.

Pros: new love for her
Cons: crappy factory Continentals
Vehicle: Volkswagen

EBC Brake pads
Polochon
  • Braking:
Rating 4.5

I installed EBC Redstuff pads on stock rotors... Well pretty happy with that so far. I just finished the break-in period. Better initial bite than OEM TRW pads. And little more braking power overall.

Pros: better initial bite, braking power
Cons: lots of dust
Mileage: 6000 km

KONI Shock absorbers

I had a spongy pedal and after a good flush and bleed my pedal is rock solid. I do have a bit of travel before the brakes grab though, almost like 1/2-3/4 of a inch of free play before anything happens. is that about what you are having?

Pros: pedal is rock solid
Cons: bit of travel
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 175000 km

OEM Volkswagen Tires
The G Man
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

I test drove all 3 tire size when shopping the Arteon, don't be fooled, size does matter. As expected, 18 inch has the best ride and the 20 the worst. It was quite noticeable even on the short drive.

Pros: 18 inch best ride
Cons: 20 inch worst ride
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I used a Gates timing belt and some other parts from an ECC kit (new water pump, tensioner, etc.) The timing belt looks tight and normal still

Pros: timing belt looks tight

Continental Tires

I went through a few sets of DW's on my mk4. I finally caved and bought PSS's and will never go back. The wet performance was unreal on the DW's, but they left a lot to be desired in the dry after having some time with PSS's.

Pros: unreal wet performance (DW)
Cons: lacked dry performance (DW)
