Just the bigger carrier with the bigger rotors on the front. Didn't bother with bigger for the rears. I bought Red Stuff pads.
Volkswagen parts reviews
The 8100 X-Cess. It has actually improved my fuel economy!
I have installed the shocks/springs for month and have decided to sell the vehicle due to new family member arriving soon. These transformed the car. Really nice set up. Smooth ride and handles really nice. Sticks to the highway very well.
Leichtlauf is great, I've noticed smoother overall operation in my 2.0 TSI Jetta and GTI since changing from dealer Castrol.
I have been driving for upwards of 50 years and have always had good luck with Pennzoil products. Pennzoil makes a 5W-40 full synthetic Platinum Euro which meets the VW 502 spec and has gotten good reviews from GTI owners.
I also currently have EBC red installed with golf R retaining clips and tyrol sport brake caliper stiffening kit and tyrol sport stainless steal brake lines and the noise was not present until maybe around 8,000 miles into the new pads. The car still stopped on a dime, thats all I was really concerned about.
New Bosch installed Thanks for your help. It was in fact the alternator. Had a NEW Bosch installed by M&M Auto/Cycle in Jersey . Mikes the man when it comes to TDI service.
ive ONLY been using nankang since i started operating VWs since 2003. +taken up to 120mph multiple times no problem +they stretch good; i used them on 9.5\" +at around $55/tire you cant go wrong for daily use
I then went with WRD sport springs and Koni ST.R shocks/struts with a eibach 25mm rear sway bar. It was much softer and I enjoyed it but it has more body roll than I want and the Koni's seem to be too soft for what I want, so I am going to change it again.
After wiring the fuel pump relay terminals together to bypass the relay entirely, after 40 miles of heading back towards Arkansas it died on me again with the exact same behavior as before.
