On 02/18/2016 I switched the plugs with the Denso IKH22 at 15800miles. Jetta is more rev happy. No slow down throughout rev range, and no more pause hesitation between 3.8k-4k RPM. Just pulls, and pulls even harder. Also idle very smoothly.
You can use the mk1 manual trans but I'd recommend an fx300 clutch setup and a diff if you want to do as little custom and more drop in.
I've changed my TDI's oil every 10K miles since it was new. It currently has 330K miles on it and runs like a watch.
Exactly what I run on my R. Works perfectly, looks good.
I am running 235/40 R18 Michelin PSS with Neuspeed RSe 10s 18x8.5 for my summers. I am also lowered on Bilstein coils with no fitment problems.
Spring is commin so i made service of my "R" oil Millers XF 5W40 + with oil filter Mann'a new oil filter cover - old one broke during disassembing
There's a dude on Ebay selling new, pierburg, 4 bar fuel pumps... Put one in my corrado and it's doing great so far. The level sender does clip to the side of the pump housing a little differently, but it does still work.
HP+ are fine on the track. They are not full-on race pads, but they will hold you down for the first few days back. We run those on the Scirocco LeMons car - it's so light that it never gets the brakes beyond warm. I also run them with summer tyres on my wagon - Great balanced pad that lets you know you are braking.
I've driven VWs for a long time now and I've always thought their glass was more susceptible to chips than other brands I've owned. Stone chips/cracks are pretty easy to get in VW glass.
horrible tire. the road noise was embarrassing on this tire. i had them on my mkv rabbit when coming to a stop it sounded like my bearings were shot.
