Volkswagen parts reviews

My OEM wipers lasted a year. I decided to go with PIAA silicone blades. They are working fantastic. I'm hoping they will last longer than a year.

lesson learned - Bosch ICON 365 climax and bring a flat head.. i love them they work silently and dont streak. Seriously VW and their bloody not standard wiper arms.

I live in Worcester and work in Boston, I get no days off (state nursing supervisor)... I\u2019ve been running Sottozero 3\u2019s since I bought the car and they haven\u2019t dusappointed me. I\u2019ve even hit a couple unavoidable bridge expansion joint craters on 9/128/pike and they\u2019ve held up. I guess I\u2019ve been lucky! Worcester is notorious for hills, lots of snow, and poor plowing by the DPW and I feel as confident as I did running Hakkas on my prior TDI Golf.

The premium contact 6 is a very good summer tire. Not the sportiest out there but overall grip in normal summer conditions is around best in this class.

I highly recommend Michelin A/S 3+ all weathers. They are amazing, my only issue so far is that they’re a little loud (road noise in the summer), but they have incredible grip, and seem to hold out great given the crazy weather.

I buy the Castrol Edge OE 5w30 that DAP sells and change the oil preemptively, always with VW brand filters. Has all the VW certs necessary, is what VW uses, and doesn't break the bank.

If the belt was melted to the alternator pulley, there was enough friction to melt the rubber. Simple answer, replace the alternator.

Another thing you might notice on your Tig is that every once in a while when you switch your car off or turn it on, the wipers will "twitch", basically just move a couple of millimeters up or down. It's to prevent them from sticking to the glass and baking on, in areas where you might not use your wipers for weeks of months at a time. It supposedly keeps the blade's edge in healthier shape.

Hey Paul, I'm reaching out because of a recent order I put in that the invoice you sent looks incorrect.

I used US Mobil 1 0W-40 in my old 1.8T (mk4). I used it for two changes (finished off a box) and always found it was burnt at only 3k miles. You could smell it as soon as I pulled the dipstick out.
