Volkswagen parts reviews

Liquimoly in all my VW's. 5w40. Liquimoly in all my friends VW's as well. Everything from a Mk4 2.0, to a MK7 R, to turbo R32s. ****s the best.

The borla muffler, pipes resonator magnaflow cat are mocked up: The Swoops intake arrived this week and I installed some coolant hoses:

I personally will only ever run G12 or Motul equivalent in my VW.

You mentioned heat soak is an issue where you live so there's your answer! IC was already my vote before I even read that part of your post.

I always recommend using a genuine VW oil filter.

Bought new tires - Bridgestone Potenza RE002 205/50R16. Yeah, it is not stance size, but I'm very bored of driving my static low Corrado with low profile tyres, and would like to enjoy the driving R36 engine without slow down before every pit

Did another oil change today, and not a lot of consumption, still pulled 6.5 quarts out of the engine. Been using the Castrol Edge 5W40, and on the back has the 501, 502 and 505 certification.

The fix for my car ended up being a OEM fuel pump manufactured by VDO. Car has been running all the way down to the low fuel light with no issues for the past 2 months.

I just had satelite do my G60 windshield. It came with both side moldings, and the installer made the top edge to match the original piece. The outer surround moulding can still be found through vwheritage, but only one or two more left. This is the main issue that i have found; ETKA shows several blocks that are used to align the glass. This is the most crucial part because if none are used it is easy for the glass to slide down enough to create a gap larger than the outer molding is designed for. This is my case, the outer molding will not stay anywhere along the top edge and you can see a gap in the top outer edges. This is just a warning to anyone who has an install done, make sure the outer moulding will stay put along the top edge of the glass. I checked this before the tech left and it was fine, next day it was no longer working. A few spacers at the bottom of the windshield will go a long way to ensure a proper fitment. I can pull up and post the illustration from etka if needed. Tomorrow they can pull the window and install it correctly.

I put in NGK PFR7S8EG plugs and man the car ran like absolute CRAP when it was cold. It ran fine, even great when it warmed up but it was so bad when cold that it was virtually un-driveable especially under moderate or hard throttle. I ended up putting the old plugs (Bosch platinum/iridium) back in because it was so bad.
