Volkswagen parts reviews

i had previously been using Total Energy 9000 5-40 and had been running it for 2 seasons .i would change out the filter after 1 year and top it up with approx. 3/4 qt of fresh oil. i don't drive a whole lot and had only put on about 9,500 miles in that time. i just switched back to Castrol Edge 5-40 this week.

I was having hesitation problems a few months ago while accelerating. No CEL, and no codes with VAG-COM. I read here that a lot of other people had had identical problems; the CEL and codes didn't start appearing until well after the symptoms started. Changing the coils solved their problems. So I took the risk and changed all four coils (at about 65,000 miles). That completely solved the problem for me. By the way, the new OEM coils had a completely different part number than the original ones.

Just an update for those following this; 11,000 miles since I replaced the VC. I've changed the oil 2 times and and about to do number 3. Zero consumption between changes. Not counting the changes it has burned nothing in 11k miles.

i changed the plugs out for oem replacement NGK plugs (it had bosch platimun +2 in it) and a set of wires. and it ran just fine it was fixed. i then decided to swap my other coilpack back in and it ran fine no issues at all.

K&N filters are beefier, my old VRs filters used to come out looking like that. The only filter that would withstand the vr and keep its shape was the k & n

Purchased a Valeo clutch kit with a single mass flywheel to replace the problematic dual mass flywheel.

I enjoy the Magnaflow on my B4. I have not liked any version of a flowmaster on anything yet but on some 5.0 mustangs. Bleh.

My g/f and I use Mann filters in both our GTIs and never had any issues.

From what I can tell, OEM is no longer Bosch, but Valeo, and the dealer is usually cheaper than finding the Valeos (they run about $25-30ea. New Jettas are teh same as the current audi A4... slightly narrower than the bosch 19OE and 24OE sizes.

Hi guys, I have problems with Firestone`s 7076 bags : ( when the car is below, the bag rubs against the fitting and the line is released. Causing the fall car in the ground.
