OEM Volkswagen Valve cover gasket
W12Canada
  • Visible leaks:
Rating 4.0

Finally got it looked at......... Was getting spark plugs changed and turns out that there was a valve cover gasket leak which was leaking onto the coils AND to the spark plugs causing the misfire.

Pros: coils at no charge
Cons: oil leaking onto coils
Vehicle: Volkswagen Phaeton

OEM Volkswagen Brake pads

Car drives great-- the new brake / pad combination gives it a firmer pedal feel than the stock setup (which I found pretty soft/grabby in comparison). It's not Porsche-firm but its world's better than the stock setup-- for comparison it's much lighter than the pedal in something like a Porsche 993, but quite a bit firmer / less grabby than the stock setup on recent BMWs. I greatly prefer the firmer feel to the stock setup, as I find it more confidence-inspiring and it makes for much easier heel/toe downshifting.

Pros: firmer pedal feel
Cons: stock setup soft/grabby

OEM Volkswagen Brake pads
vwpiloto
  • Braking:
Rating 4.0

I bought a VR6 4Motion wagon for my mom 4 years ago, and it's still running great. The brakes are a bit overboosted, and are very grabby, but once you get used to it, it's actually not bad at all.

Pros: great traction, comfortable seats
Cons: brakes a bit overboosted

OEM Volkswagen AC compressor
alerxovawo
  • Cooling performance:
Rating 4.0

I've owned my late 2007 build since new and it now has 80,000 on the clock (2.0T FSI). Only major problem was that the A/C compressor went at about 40k, but was replaced for free under warranty.

Pros: great car, thoroughly enjoyed
Cons: A/C compressor failure

OEM Volkswagen Radiator hose

I got the upper radiator hose from a vendor on ebay mkautohaus, I believe. Deals in older VW parts, that one was $110, called the dealership and they wanted $145. And the shop the car is in charged me another $110 for the lower one.

Pros: deals in older parts
Cons: expensive radiator hose
Vehicle: Volkswagen Scirocco

OEM Volkswagen Brake discs
nater
  • Braking:
  • Vibration:
Rating 1.0

Unfortunately the problem is inherent in the design of the rotors. Not in where they were produced. You can put the best rotors in the world on that car and they will still warp. Vw/Chrysler would need to spec a larger and thicker rotor to help dissipate heat properly. All aftermarkets will make the rotor to fit, based on the crappy oem specs. So, get used to having new rotors put on...because recall or not, Chrysler still needs to redesign that rotor. FYI, I'm in the same boat as you guys! These rotors suck!

Cons: rotors suck, warp
