Volkswagen parts reviews

Valeo 3 row radiator is what i use and it works great

ROTELLA T6 - Instantly i noticed a very nice purr from the motor. Its a heavy oil and with stabilizer (in this case thinner than the oil) It warmed up slower, meaning that it was absorbing more heat. No extra start up noise at all. The biggest gain from the Rotella was hot weather stability. It seemed to perform the best when you drove the car hard! Hot weather didnt affect the engines power anymore, and that made me really happy. Turbo lag was increased slightly, and the engine revved slightly slower, but remained perfectly stable. I loved this oil for protection, its really good for hot weather!

In my VW's I do 5K oil/filter change just to be safe and always use VW spec oil. I do not have analysis done on my used oil, it may go farther but $50 for Ravenol VMO 5w40 and OEM filter is a lot cheaper than an engine rebuild.

Sometimes you just have to try a few sets. I have a '97 Jetta which had NGK plugs in it for close to 4 years. I went through two sets of NGK plugs and couldn't get the car to run. I switched to Bosch and it started right up and ran fine.

I am running Str.t with my Pro Kit. Been on them now for about 3 weeks and love the car! Handles very well and it is not harsh.

I run the DCPR8EIX and they are great. No need for 9's for me.

I used Optimal coated rotors from GAP. Seem like a good option for the price.

And one thing I would definitely do is get the Castrol out of there if you intend to keep the car long-term. The recent changes to the oil we are delivered at the dealer is crazy!!! It's not the same as it used to be and I can tell a huge difference in my cars. Have had excess oil consumption, lower MPG and quicker deterioration of the oil over last 6 months using Castrol(and I work at dealer)

Car was on all seasons that were almost new(falken 912's). Going down the highway at 35 in 4th gear, I was running about 1k rpm and any touch of the gas would spin the tires. Starting on a hill was impossible.
