Volkswagen parts reviews

I have them on the MK5 GTI my son drives and will be swapping them onto my 2017 R. Love them for an all around tire.

I live on the west coast and use 5w40 LiquiMoly from NAPA @ $36/5 Lt. It made my CF life go from replacing every 10k miles to getting nearly 20k miles/CF.

Made a few sensible tweaks to this car immediately, at like 300 miles (nothing heavy), one of which was Akebono pads. Third VW I've had these on; they're great -- about as close to zero dust as I think you can get, seem to work a bit better and last a bit longer than the OEM pieces.

Stoptech brake test mounted to the spindles. I buffed off the Stoptech logo with buffing compound. I prefer the understated look.

I have the R2 and actually just had to use them while my Prets were in the shop.

As far as driving on dry pavement goes, the R2s are great--very quiet, good economy (I lost maybe 1mpg?). Main drawback is that they are very soft and race mode with R2s feels like comfort mode with stock all-seasons.

I have always bought bosch icons for my cars and my 2013 CC requires me to go to the dealer since the connection is not standard. The Dealer ones work 100% (no shock there).

If they are the same sizes as the B6 Passat, you can get Bosch Aerotwin set for a decent price off of Amazon.

KYB shocks front and rear, usual stuff like alternator, brakes, wheel bearings, coolant hoses, front end rebuild and fixing all kinds of electrical switches, lights and gauges that weren’t working. Just keeping up with systems that were failing.

I'm running PFR7Bs. I get a misfire or 3 here and there, only during low load low speed acceleration. I've got R8 coils too. Not sure if the RFD makes them occur any more frequently than they otherwise would, but I'm not worried about it.

My Rabbit's alternator lasted a solid 40,000 miles!
