Volkswagen parts reviews

Recommend a switch to "Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring" tires. I have a 2011 Tiguan SE. Replaced my stock 17-inch Continentals after 7,500 miles because they were too noisy and I had 2 flats within a month. Did considerable research on all-weather tires before I settled on the Cooper CS5 . . a new unique tread design and rubber compounds. There was a 100% improvement in my SUV's handling, as well as a soft, quiet ride. Now have 54k on this SUV, and my W-rated tires remain almost like new.

So here is my experience with gaps on this engine. The wife 09 Passat was misfiring so I decide to replace the plugs. I buy Autolite double platinums which were gapped huge. Turns out the 0.032 gap was not correct after all and it should have been 0.028. Big difference, this baby flies again (GIAC tune).

I've just bled the brakes with fresh Motul RPF600 race brake fluid

I personally love it and it works very well. Tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 225/40ZR18

I also wanted a set of foglights - again, had them in the Sonata but not here. In another stroke of luck, DBVeeDB (check out his build, it's aces) had moved on to projector fogs and sold me his stockers.

Alternators can be rebuilt. YMMV of course, but I rebuilt the Bosch alternator on my old Mk1 VW Rabbit several times (brush would wear down) with no issues.

I put EBC Red stuff on my GTI (non-PP). I thought the stock pads were too aggressive when driving around town. The reds are less touchy when lightly applied and stop quite well. Very little brake dust. I'm very happy with them.

my valeo radiator didn't come with anything.. im just hoping it doesn't leak from that zone.

The reason why the output is crappy is that even though the DEPO lights look pretty much the same on the outside, they basically just copy the original headlight design and don't do much at all with the actual optics, that's why even with your OEM bulbs the output still looks like crap.
