Volkswagen parts reviews

The DWS seems to work fine in everything.

These I am running on my 7 R actually (225/40/18) and had them on my 6 R as well for the last winter. I can highly recommend this tire cause it's good in wet and snowy conditions and in addition very 'sporty' (for a winter tire) if you have dry conditions in winter. Probably the best winter tire I ever had.

Best tire recommendation.... Get your self some Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Pluses for this bad boy and you'll be cruising in comfort.

So today I put on a new pair of Bosch brake pads, flushed the brake fluid, and removed that sensor from the windshield washer reservoir. It was too easy.

2015 GTi - Unitronic Stage 1+, Wagner IC, MST TIP and hose, Oline Road and Track/Vorshlag camber plates, Wavetrac LSD, Sachs RSE Clutch, 034 stiffer upper rear mount, 034 rear adjustable camber and toe links, rear Aurora trailing arm bushing, 034 forged lower front control arms, 034 22.2 adjustable rear swaybar, H&R front adjustable swaybar, Tyrolsport front and rear Deadset Kit, Cryo Stoptech slotted rotors with Isweep 3000 short track pads front, Stoptech slotted rotors and Isweep 3000 pads rear, SS brake lines, Neuspeed RSe12 wheels with Michelin Pilot 4S tires

Brakes.. It's been said, but cost more to replace, are heavier but more powerful, so an advantage from that standpoint.

On the other hand, head was fully rebuilt. Previous owner(s) were probably changing oil every 50.000miles, with cheapest one available, which led to all sorts of gunk accumulating on valve guides, finally making it impossible for valves to shut completely. Resurfaced it, put in new valves, guides, seales... Set of gaskets and head bolts later, it fired up.

Anco C-24-N: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HQZ92UQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Anco C-19-N: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HQZAYC6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These are the ones I bought for my '14 GLI and they both clipped in exactly like the OEM ones. Took me 10 seconds to install them. Easiest blades I've ever installed on a car!

I've got a 2003 Jetta 1.8T GLS Manual (canadian model, made in mexico), and the clutch burnt out, was slipping and was trying to sell it to a family member, well they burnt the clutch out on the test drive and now I just want to get a stock replacement (so don't need a racing clutch, etc;)

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to car repair, I did my research, called around, the VW dealer tells me the "high cost" the local repair shops quote me something else, everyone has different parts, and part numbers.

If anyone could give me some feedback? I have 2 mechanics that told me if I buy the part, and save money they will install it. But I want to make sure I get the correct part.

Here are the following clutch kits that I've found:

*$379 Sachs W0133-1891446 Clutch Kit*

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/Volkswagen/Jetta/Sachs/Clutch_Kit/2003/GLS/4_Cyl_1-dot-8L/W0133-1891446.html

(looks like it includes the flywheel + conversion components, other cheaper ones do not).

*$295 Valeo W0133-1889745 Clutch Kit*

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/Volkswagen/Jetta/Valeo/Clutch_Kit/2003/GLS/4_Cyl_1-dot-8L/W0133-1889745.html

(no flywheel kit, but a little cheaper)

The site 'matches' my VW when I put in the details, however I'm not sure what to look for here.

Thoughts? Would appreciate any feedback :)

The tab that the cam gear has to spin the cam, snapped off the gear. Even though it was in time, the gear just spun on cam and didn't spin the actual cam.
