Power service white bottle about 4oz every fill up. Have 2k on the car no problems yet, will switch to grey bottle in a bit.
Im running an optima redtop 1000 cca. Starts like a champ in -10 degree weather.
I've been running BOSH+ and it feels great!!
In installed these FIAMM 74100 horns on my son's 337. They are less that $20 on Amazon and work great. You need to make a jumper wire to go from the connector to the horn, but only for the +12v connector since the mounting bolt provides grounding.
O.K. I replaced the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, most water hoses, cap, rotor, rotor, plugs, air and fuel cleaner to start off with.
first set i used were NGK R5671A-7 non-resistor plugs gapped at .025\" had ran multiple sets of these for well over 20k miles with zero issues.
When I bought my golf, the PO was using crap gas station brand 5w30, the first weekend I had the car I switched to Motul synth 5w40. No leaks and drastically reduced oil consumption compared to what the PO said it was going through and it's been great ever since. I have since switched from Motul 8100 X-cess to Gulf Formula G (still 5w40) and noticed even less oil burning. I drove 4700kms across Canada at a constant 3300-4200 rpm for 4 days, oil level barely went down a drop.
I have the Pirelli P-Zero Nero 225/40HR18 on Detroit wheels. They were pleasantly quiet until a few thousand KM then I started to notice a tire noise. No bumps hit and it's all 4 corners.
I have had bad experiences with non-OEM parts on my VWs and INSIST on OEM parts even for things like mufflers. They never fit exactly right and the quality is never as good as OEM.
