Once the mintex pads had sufficiently cleaned the rotors, the pulsing was gone. Granted, they are much dustier, but I'll take that over the constant pulsing.
Oil change every 5K M1 0W-40, zero oil consumption.
Similar van (VW Routan) and I went with Falken Pro G4 A/S @ $108 each at Discount Tire. Nice, quiet and surprisingly better than the OEM Michelin tires that were on there.
Castrol Edge 5w40 looks like the best one to get for this car.
personally, I'd use Rotella T6. It's a full synthetic oil marketed for diesel engines or "heavy duty" but it's a low saps 5W-40 oil that is perfectly fine to use in a gasoline application.
In an effort of "lets start over with the basics" we changed the front pads with new TRW OEM ones and the thing was back to normal awesome braking. This Van should stop with alacrity and ABS should kick in when you really step on the brakes.
First, if your alternator is putting out 13.8V while the car is running, your alternator is fine. Period. If your battery passes a load test after being fully charged, it is fine.
I've have FSD shocks with Neuspeed regular springs on my MKV Jetta. I love the ride, and improved handling.
Since the original Sachs were not available where I live, I went ahead with Bilstein stock replacements. One problem that i am facing is that no matter what I do, I am not able to get the front camber to factory spec.
i had to custom make my tie rods, use mk4 outer tie rods because they are about 1" longer per side which should do it, i would just stick with yours and loop your lines or buy this kit, ive done it both ways with the same results, ****ty steering
