Volkswagen parts reviews

5 quarters of mobil 1 0-40 and 1 quart 15-40 mobil all syntetic, runs like a champ and very quiet

I use Castrol Syntec 10w-40 in all of my VR6's and change it around 3000-4000 miles with oil filter (Meyle, Hengst or Topran) I use it in my MK4 and even in my old ass MK3 and never had any problems whatsoever. My MK3 VR6 that a sold a few months back, a.k.a. The Silver Bullet, has over 150K miles on the odometer and still counting and she runs like a beast. The lifters are ticking a bit loud but that's common for any high mileage VR6 engine.

I had a MK3 GTI VR6 that that happened to. I went thru several e-brake cables. Finally figured out the calipers were steel and they would seize up from rust. I swapped them out for some aluminum ones from a MK4 and the problem was solved forever.

I have NGK double plat and they have been great. Over 10k miles. Just put some in my girlfriends 2.5 jetta as well with no issues.

Install is a snap since all you do is loosen a side screw, unclip the plastic connection, slide out the headlight to reach the harness plug-in, and install that plug in the Win Power light. They are totally 'plug and play' with no other modifications needed and work well. I don't see any difference in the design when matched up to the OEM ones.

I am still happy with the work and was covered by insurance.

For brakes I run Scirocco 10.1 fronts with Mintex red pads, MK3 200mm rear drums- i used to have to be careful when I ran 195/50/15's because of accidental lock, but it's much improved with the 205/50/15's (Toyo R1R's- best tire i've had).

Hall Sensor for the AAF is Bosch part number 1237010039.

Bought 2012 TDI sport with 18" wheels new at dealer 2 months ago. Vehicle sat on dealer lot for 5 months or so. Test drove vehicle, steering wheel shook enough to see it at any speed over 50 mph. THIS was probably from flat spots on tires from sitting, we bought vehicle and dealer agreed to put new tires on and replaced with exact same Pirelli's that vehicle was equipped with.

2005 with 23000km on the clock - right front ball joint collapsed - need to replace entire control arm, so it wasn't cheap (+- $700).
