Volkswagen parts reviews

Optima battery. They handle the cold much better.

I bought pirelli scorpions at2 on my Amarok

They are awesome, quiet on the highway and heaps of grip on and off road

If you're thinking of a grand touring tire, I switched from separate summer/winter performance sets to Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 years ago and I've been very happy with it. Good performance all year in all weather, still feels connected to the road, wear rate has been good, I'd not hesitate to get them again.

Call me a glazer because they're the only AS tire I use, but DWS06+ are tight.

I absolutely love the DWS 06+ and have bought many sets of them for different cars over the years. Great balance of performance and comfort IMO.

I run those on my GTI, great tires.

Front drivers’ caliper is stuck open. I purchased an VW Ate refurb caliper but haven’t installed it. The other front side is good, and rears are only a few years old.

I actually replaced drivers rear caliper last year, retaining the original actuator and it was perfectly fine since then until suddenly the parking brake failure this year. Old caliper wasn't moving correctly so I ended up smelling and seeing the smoke driving home one day.

Didn't realize that the brembos won't clear the estorils. Wheel weights will hit the caliper and the spokes will also hit the caliper body. I guess more of any fyi to the group.

I keep hearing my brakes squeal when I drive and it's really bothering, so I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it or if it's something I have to deal with. I bought a Zimmermann kit with Textar semi metallic pads. My buddy thinks I should've removed the Coat Z anticorrosive off the rotors before installing but it says on their website it's made to be installed with it on. The only thing I can think of is maybe I didn't lube the moving surfaces enough or I need to do a better job bedding them in.
