Volkswagen parts reviews

I just had to swap my alternator today on my MK7. Mine was Valeo but I could only find a Bosch locally, I decided to give it a shot and it worked just fine. Just a PSA for anyone in the same situation, they are both the same barring a slightly different orientation of the plug on the back.

Skiver koster ca 4-800 pr stk, et s\u00e6t klodser koster ca 3-500 afh\u00e6ngig af kvalitet.\n\nJeg k\u00f8bte brembo skiver og klodser til min polo for under 1800,- leveret og skiftede selv.

If you treat it right, the vw will outlast the Honda easily. If you're not going to be able to keep up with oil/ fluid/ dsg/ fuel filter etc... then you should get the Honda.

I’ve had an APR stage 1 ECU tune on my 2017 GTI since 2020 with zero issues. I don’t track it. Just change plugs every 20k miles and have VW use OEM plugs.

Personally I’m running EQT’s stage 1+ tune and I just went with the recommended plugs (NGK 4905s) for peace of mind. I think it’s worth the extra couple bucks for my sanity

We have a 2019 Atlas FWD that is plenty capable for Northern Midwest Winters and last year I put on a set of Michelin CrossClimate2's which really will amp up its capability in snow. I have CC2's on my Jetta and it really has been great, not a ton of deep snow experience with the Atlas with them yet but no concerns.

Just had a 5yo Napa battery die, put a new Duralast Platinum Elite in there, back to running normal except 2 things: 1/ Random engine fan activation seems to be what killed the previous battery. Still happening.

I’ve had Bosch Icon 28aoe, 18oe wipers for the front for about a year, I don’t find them to be any better than the OWM VW ones though.

Only issues have been the insanely squeaky brakes, the sound quality on the speakers in the cold and crappy wipers.

The stock and subsequent 20" Conti Pro Contact sucked. I went thru so many tire hitting a smallish pothole at various speeds at on/off ramps, side streets, highways, turns, etc. I would get a bubble every time.
