Depo Headlights

  • Condensation:
Rating 4.0

There's nothing wrong with the Depo smoked Vento e-codes. You just have to put a bead of black silicone around the edges where the glass meets the plastic housing for preventative watertight measures and they're fine.

Pros: decent quality
Cons: needs watertight measures
Vehicle: Volkswagen Vento

Shell Engine oil

Shell T6 rottella can be found for $10-12 (us) per gallon after sale and rebate. It is worth stocking lol.

Mobil Engine oil

Personally, I would buy Mobil 1 5w-40 Turbo Diesel Truck. Not the VW spec oil. The Mobil oil has much higher amounts of zinc which helps reduce the cam wear inherit to that engine. I have been using it in my BRM and just checked my cam the other day with 70k miles on it and it looks perfect.

Pros: reduces cam wear
Mileage: 112654 km

OEM Porsche Brake caliper
Aonarch
  • Uneven wear:
Rating 5.0

Braking feel is amazing and they are about 5 lbs lighter each side factoring in the bracket and hardware. They also are fixed calipers vs floating, which provide better braking performance and feel.

Pros: amazing braking feel, lighter
Vehicle: Volkswagen

K&N Air filter
Aonarch
  • Power:
  • Throttle response:
Rating 4.0

Noticeable difference off the line and cruising at low speeds with the K&N filter and pipe. Pre-tune I still noticed a small difference. Maybe combined with the turbo muffler it does something. Once tuned it will make a larger difference.

Pros: noticeable difference off the line
Vehicle: Volkswagen

MICHELIN Tires

I just put PS4's on to replace my stock Continentals and I love them. I've gone towards a few other brand choices with some previous cars and always hated myself for not getting Michelins. The PS4's are so quiet I can actually hear my brake pads now and I couldn't before due to the rolling road noise from the Continentals.

Pros: very quiet

  • Grip:
  • Noise:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 5.0

I have about 2k miles on some PS4s. Most of that is windy backroads. There is no comparison with the stock Contis. These things grip with no drama, ride smoother and quieter. They grip so well, that the body of the car leans on turns when it felt flat on the Contis.

Pros: grip with no drama, ride smoother
Mileage: 3218 km
