Volkswagen parts reviews

i use shell rotella 15w40 WHITE bottle.

Finished! I got the new fuel pump installed last night (finished right at 10pm) and took it for a short test drive with just a 1/4 tank of gas. It looks like everything is working properly now, no surging, no stalling, and it idles better now than before

I am running 38 in the Indy 500’s so far.

With EBC Yellowstuff Pads and Motul Fluid I was fade-free during multiple 25 minute sessions at my local 2.5 mile track. My front brake rotors read a temp of 650 degrees at the end of each session with ambient air temp of about 85 degrees.

Today I was able to return the Bridgestone Alenzas and have a different shop set me up with Pirelli Scorpion Verde 235/55/R18 All Season Plus tires and..... AWESOME. These tires are big feeling and grippy, quiet at highway speeds, AND the car is so much more responsive. I can;t compare to tires that I have not tried on this car, but these are a major upgrade from the Continentals that came stock and a very awesome place to be.

I have a used Sachs Performance clutch kit w/ single mass flywheel for TSI engines for sale. This came off my GTI when I replaced a squeaky throwout bearing. Had I known what was in the car to begin with I would have kept this clutch kit but I had already ordered a new one. The setup still clamped well without slipping before removal but the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces do have discoloration due to heat (see pictures).

Best is sticking with OE stuff (VW, Mann, or Mahle - Mann filters can be had from many places online.) If I were to shotgun parts at this (read: not bother checking pressure with a gauge, just throw parts at it), I would do a good filter, and an actual VW pressure switch

But I will say the pads are great, they stop well, they never squeak...but man my iron-x budget is going fast.

I use 5w40 liquimoly. No leaks and everything was fine. I changed the oil about 2000km ago and checked tonight to see it very low at the fill line.

Had the DWS and MXM4s on a 07 Passat 4Mo wagon. Destroyed the Conti's in 27K, the Michelins looked new at 25K. I won't buy the DWS again for my current 13 CC 4Mo.
