Fram Oil filter

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.

Pros: lasted 20 years, lasted 253,000 miles
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 407164 km
Part number: PH2870A

MOTUL Engine oil

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).

Pros: no oil consumption
Mileage: 16093 km

Nokia Tires

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...

Pros: huge difference in handling

Hankook Tires

I have Hankook Winter I*Pikes in 225/60R16 XL (102 load rating, I think) on my 2003EV. They have worked well for me.

Pros: worked well

OEM Volkswagen Brake discs
Optical TDI
  • Vibration:
Rating 4.0

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.

Pros: better quality
Cons: stock rotors warp
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 4828 km

EMPI Oil filter
buggyman
  • Warning light:
Rating 2.0

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.

Cons: contributing to higher pressure
