Continental Tires
DMBAdict04
  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

I replaced the OE tires with Continental DWS tires and they've been pretty solid. I've got 35k on them at this point and they have good tread remaining. However, I took my car in for rotation recently and they informed me the tires were cupping really badly.

Pros: good tread remaining, pretty solid
Cons: tires were cupping badly
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Goodyear Tires
PaulAP
  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 5.0

The tire I decided to go with is the Goodyear Eagle RS-A2 P245/45R19, as it is almost the exact diameter of my stock P225/65 16" tires, and they were an affordable choice ($185 Canadian).

Pros: affordable choice, exact diameter
Cons: higher pressure required
Vehicle: Volkswagen

  • Exhaust smoothness:
  • Drone:
Rating 5.0

That video is without the two small resonators directly after the cats and the large single muffler. I kept the last two resonators on with no effect on economy.

Pros: no effect on economy

Cons: burning oil

OEM Volkswagen Valve cover
emspilot
  • No leaks:
Rating 5.0

It certainly possible. That was my experience, my plugs looked like that and worse. For me number 3 was soaking wet with oil. since replacing my cover I have zero oil loss over 5000 mile OCI, and my plugs stay dry.

Pros: zero oil loss, plugs dry
Cons: plugs soaking wet
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 5000 km

MOTUL Brake fluid
REDGLI2012
  • Pedal feel:
Rating 5.0

Over the winter i did a brake upgrade on my GLI. Didnt want to spend $5k plus on front/rear BBK kit so i did as much as i could with the stock braking system \"as is\". Phil from USP motorsports really helped me out big time. honestly having it for more than three months now and being a WELL WORTH INVESTMENT i highly recommend this.

Pros: well worth investment

Bosch Fuel pump

Learn from my mistakes. :facepalm: Although as shown on the link above that Bosch lists this pump as for the Mk4 R32... it is not correct. Some things you don't notice until you are halfway through the job.

Cons: incorrect part, wasted time
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Part number: 69740
