I had an OEM VW battery made by Varta. It lasted from October 2005 to May 2014. It spent time in Michigan, Minnesota and northern Germany. I never had any problems with it.
Walmart should have the best prices of anybody in just about any area. Mobil1 0w-40, Castrol European Formula 0w-40, Shell Rotella T6 5w-40, or even Mobil1 10w-40 High Mileage. Use dealer filters, Mahle or Mann found at Advance or NAPA, Wix or NAPA GOLD also at NAPA.
Full synthetic 5w-40 if you can find it, you could run 5w-30 if not. The 1.8t needs around 4.8 qts I believe, so just buy 5 so you have a little left over. Mobil 1 is my go-to oil.
I invested in some new wiper blades... michelin stealth... They work so nicely, and so quiet! Also look way better than OEM.
i run BKR7E at stock gap on stage 2 30psi. no problems at all even in 100 degree heat.
I service mine @ a local vw tuning shop NGP. Pan drop, filter change @31000mile, the old fluid came out red`ish
Some mk6's have the 272mm rotors and some have the 253mm. I found out the hard way when I ordered the standard Stoptech Street Performance pads. Had to reorder.
I just had my secondary water pump replaced a month ago. Yesterday I found a huge puddle of coolant in my driveway. Off to the VW dealer again. This time it's the water pump.
