Volkswagen parts reviews

I use 10W/60 LiquiMoly 365 days.

I use the blue antifreeze (G11) that was specified for my 1987 16V. I am currently running 10W40 synthetic oil.

i did all 4 corners. replaced with alltrack-specific Bilstein b6 which was a huge handling upgrade.

Motul 8100 Power 5w40 oil. My shop recommends it, I'm based in NC, Autocross in the summer sucks, but my oil temps drop back around 214 degrees F when I come off the track.

I did my own brakes, sorta with and without the special tool. My conclusion is that the tool is not strictly needed.

Once your stock brake pads are toast as well I’d upgrade them to something like Hawk’s HPS 5 pads.

Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.

When I bought it, I was made aware of an idle hunting issue - whenever I push in the clutch or return to neutral and the rpm drops, it drops drastically, almost to zero. It then bounces back up and will oscillate slightly before finding idle around 800-1000 rpm.

The EBC blues are not track pads... Despite how they market them. Once they cool from behind very hot they glaze over...

2019 Golf R. Steering lock error required replacement steering column. Prevented car from turning on requiring dsg being manually placed in neutral and handbrake manual release on callipers. Absolutely fantastic fault that I hope isn't repeated in another couple of years!
