Volkswagen parts reviews

Your repair is reasonable in Canada or the USA. For those that don't know what a base Jetta coil pack and wires looks like, here's a link to FCP : VW Ignition Coil Service Kit - Bosch KIT-032905106FKT3 | FCP Euro https://share.google/2UaBCZUOxCYsInqvp

I believe there was a technical bulletin about this, recommending that the VW installations of the 1.8T be run the way Audi, who wasn't have the issue, was running them. So that meant using the much larger diesel Rabbit oil filter, like the Bosch 72174, or the Mann or Knecht equivalents, which upped the oil capacity of the engine, and then running only synthetic

I also put MK2 Scirocco sway bars on her car, front and rear, and with Sachs struts all the way around, it handled and rode fantastic.

No experience with the b16s but I went from lowering springs on stock struts to lowering springs on b8s and it made a world of a difference.

I’m running the pirellis. Fantastic tire, they are a new all season tire and are pretty much the same as the contis. Pirellis has multiple different types of all seasons that are genuinely pretty bad but these ones are really good. Quiet, comfortable and can grip the road so very well. I was hesitant when I was buying them as I was looking at the contis since it’s been on the market much longer but I’m really happy I went with the pirellis. Either way you cannot go wrong.

For reference I’m running this on a built golf r pushing over 4xx hp and they are fantastic, they feel much better than the indy500’s I was running before and they feel identical to the dws cars I’ve been in.

If you are using VW original oil then stick to it and the service interval. 15 years 229,000km later mine is going strong. I did mess up by doing service at 15k km all these years. Sticking to 12k is best. Instead try iftex system D. Makes a very noticeable difference. More important I feel is changing the air filter more often. And compulsorily changing diesel filter every year.

I’ve noticed some unusual wear on the inner edges of my front tires (Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s, ~3 years old), and the rubber feels rough to the touch - like they're chewed up a bit.

'24 Golf R that came with Hankooks. Just hit 14k miles and they're still going with about 4/32nd's left. Definitely getting louder as the tread goes lower. Overall, not terrible tires but don't have a lot of feel and grip is reasonable.

Duralast coils are known to be problematic

Ngks are fine but be careful with them. I myself ran these and changed them at 10k intervals. I met someone at a car meet who recommended 5k intervals w these n I didn’t understand till my engine was gone. They can foul up and break inside the cylinder. Granted in my case it was my fault but it’s happened a few times w other ppl.
