I reluctantly put the A/S 3's on my Corrado 2 years ago. My preferred Nitto 555 was NLA in my size. I can honestly say that the all season Michelin is every bit the Z-rated summer only Nitto in 99% of my driving. I will be getting these again for sure. It's a can't lose tire and does live up to it's billing.
I bought my 2008 3.6 4motion wagon a little over 3 years ago. It came with the original OEM battery, part number 4F0 915 105 E, and I was both impressed that it lasted that long and curious as to how much longer it would last.
It was a while ago, but I think I used a HEPU pump when I did mine.
I used the basic ContiTech kit there when I did my GTI. I also separately sourced a pump with a metal impeller and a Conti accessory belt.
Replaced my OEMs this summer to Denso K16GPR-U11 and has been getting really good mileage and smooth idling since then. Now planning to try NGKs next time.
Best bang for buck brake setup on a Corrado/Mk3 Front: 11.3 DE's with Tyrol Sport Bushings and a proper pad and brembo OE rotors Rear: Stock rear, Mk4 Calipers, proper pads, and brembo OE rotors. Rotor material is too often overlooked and a must for proper performance. Brembo seems to have the best metallurgy IMO.
I had just put a fresh filter and Rotella t6 5w-40 in the engine (not VW approved, but if it'll help, i'll give it a go).
I miss my NGK V powers. I always ran them in my 1.8T's and changed them every oil change because they were so cheap to buy. Put these in and she's as smooth as butter. Torque profile feels better at partial throttle too. Needless to say I am very happy.
We have Yokohama Avid Ascend's and they are wearing like a pigs nose. Probably 30K on them now and they are rated at either 70 or 80K life. I easily see us getting 70K from them. 41 psi and proper rotation.
Just got a call from the dealer. Water pump is leaking coolant.
