Volkswagen parts reviews

Adam's front slotted rotors, Stoptech Performance front pads.

I'm definitely sold on ATE parts. They are the OEM on my GTI and have 49,000 miles on all the original pads and rotors, plenty of life left.

Right now I run 15w-40 Shell Rotella Diesel engine oil in my bug. You can see below the Zinc & Phosphorus PPM (the higher the better). So you can see that Shell Rottela & Napa Diesel oil has fantastic for wear protection for the aircooled flat tappet cams.

Castrol Syntec 5w40 is stout enough for the 10,000 mile oil change.

Ended up being the fuel pump. Just got a new APR unit in and it runs like a_________!

Varta makes damn good batteries. One in my Rabbit lasted almost 5 years.

My GTI's original Varta battery lasted 7 yrs with normal driving/ number of starts.

I ordered an alternator with code 07C903021N (Hitachi LR1190-907E) and I hope it is the right one, because there are many versions and the all look the same, except for the position of the B+ post and the DFM terminal connector with respect to the orientation of the cooling tubes.

Anyway, I bought a new battery and everything was fine for several months. Yesterday my car did not start again. I put a charger on the battery and it started this morning. However, this afternoon it would not start again. I charged it again and went and had the charging system and battery checked out (all good).

I tried the hawk hps on my mk4 jetta. I wasn't to impressed with them for what they are. They took a long time to break in, break dust was okay, and the breaking performance is so so. I ran them in the fronts and rear. The rears wore down very quickly and the fronts last a long time.
