My cars running hell of alot smoother by the way with this oil.
Volkswagen parts reviews
I used to use Fram oil filters (PH2870A) in my old Mk2. They were so terrible that after nearly 20 years and 253,000 miles I had to junk the car.
X2 hps had them on my mkv and loved them. Even did a track day with them
Thus far (only 10,000 miles into the game), I have been rather surprised that I have not had to add a drop of oil yet to my 2010 2.0 TSI. Drove with the DSG in Sport mode during break-in (in an effort to keep the revs up a bit, and encourage more range in the shift points), drained the factory fill at 1400 miles, and have been using Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 since then (changed out at 6,000 and 10,000 miles).
I ended up going onto the Nokian website and searched around for the right snow tires for an EV. They actually have them. They have them up to a 99 load rating which is much better than the 95s I had. Made a huge difference in handling...
The Direzza's are pretty sticky and take a lot before they break traction. I'm very happy with them performance-wise.
I have Hankook Winter I*Pikes in 225/60R16 XL (102 load rating, I think) on my 2003EV. They have worked well for me.
If VW won't cover the costs, then don't buy the VW rotors again. Tire Rack sells Centric brand rotors for our vans. These are the same rotors that Powerslot rotors use, just without the slots. They are about $50 each are a much better quality than the stockers. Yeah it's $200, but I would bet these will not warp like the stock rotors.
I ran them for awhile in my Passat VR6.They did decent.Burned really well actually. I think when I was running them I only got about 23 MPG.
Nope,VW never ran an external filter of any kind on an aircooled bug,that's a locally sourced aftermarket EMPI product,and it may be contributing to your higher pressure reading.
