Volkswagen parts reviews

That being said, it would be great to see a basic writeup with pics of the fronts and rears being changed. I ordered and received some new slotted/drilled rotors with ceramic pads. When ordering, I just used the GTI as the model, since it uses the same brake rotors as the TDI, 312mm F, 272mm R - IIRC. If I have time, I will get some pics and write a rudimentary writeup on it. Not sure if I have time/patience to tackle this myself so I may just have my Audi/VW guy do the work (he has many more tools and 2 lifts). In any case, I will try to get some info and pics in here.

Have you given the Motul Specific 502.00/505.00/505.01 a try? I switched to it years ago on my mk5 rabbit (140k miles or so over the past 5.5 years across 3 cars) with excellent results. It is a mid SAPS oil like the x-clean as well.

filter is the nipple mk2 type that mounts to the fire wall next to the turbo.

The last two batteries I bought for my GTi, were specified for a Mk4 Golf/Jetta. Both of them were Bosch and they are both different sizes. Both of them ran me about $150 I went with the Mk4 batteries because Pepboys didnt carry for a Mk3. But both of them are fine

Planing on going with the green stuff brake pads. 20% off! Sale ends today guys.

My Corrado has Koni yellow shocks at stock height and the rebound/stiffness is set right in the middle. It's a pain to adjust the rear stiffness, but somebody sells low profile knobs for them. The car is in storage so I don't remember if the rear spring perches are adjustable. I do remember that the car rides great and I can just adjust the stiffness in a few minutes (on the front anyway) if I want to corner flatter.

I just put the Trico blades on. They are not a direct connect, meaning that it won't just snap in. However, using the supplied adapter was no issue and to me, these are way better than stock blades. No issues lifting even at higher speeds.

I've got the Anco blades as well and have driven through some pretty nasty south Florida weather. Haven't had any complaints or issues with the wipers at any speed.

The Kumho's aren't that bad in noise, until you get to the halfway point, then it starts to get noisy.

i have a fram oil filter and it just started doing this and its been about 1.5k miles since i last changed my oil
