Volkswagen parts reviews

I too was running Nokian Haks and it was almost uncanny how good the traction was not just in deep fresh but on compacted snow and ice. The EV is a very heavy vehicle and having 2/3 the weight (depending on cargo) over the drive wheels makes a very stable setup.

Doing awesome in single digit F weather.

Pretty much these depo heads are plug and play just make sure all the wires sit perfect on the heads and you are good to go.! I only needed to run a wire for the fog lights.

when i bought my b5.5 last summer is still had the factory wipers. which blew a$$. i bought a pair of the RAIN-X like all season thick ones. crap i forget the name of em. i think like latitude or something idk. but those are siiiic and sitll like new over a year later.

The other day I installed my Optima yellow top that was intended for my S10 into the GTI. Had to cram the battery cover top on a bit, but its on there! Funny now the car starts up alot faster. It always seemed like since I got this car it was slow to start, as if the battery was always low...

I put Edge 5w-30 in my 2.0 TSI a few days ago. Drained fresh dealer Syntec 5w-40 to do so. 5w-40 is very thick in cold, which is bad for turbo apps. This is the reason for the evolution of 0w-30 and 0w-40 oils, however 5w-30 synth is thinner than all in the cold, near zero F, about 1/2 as thick as 5w-40. Edge is likely the same formula as the VW spec SLX Pro OE anyway. All the new VW 504 oils ARE 5w-30s, ftr. A consensus is forming around Edge being the best of the thin 30 weight synthetics. It worked great in my friend's 1.8t, at a decent interval. 5w-30 synth is a great choice for winter, and seems fine in hot weather too. Thinner oils simply protect better now because of their improved additives. my engine is running great now

I could not get anywhere 5w-40 Castrol, so I got 5w-30 Castrol Edge, the car seems to perform better than it did before, after changing to this oil.

i just purchased an '02 b5.5, and replaced the OE wipers with the bosch icons, 21'' driverside, 19'' passenger. this left me with only a slight lip on the passenger side which is actually good for when it's icy/snowy and i won't damage my blade.

I have this problem. I have been hearing the noise on and off for about 6 months. It only lasts for a few seconds and usually happens at lights or when idling before I turn it off. It could never be replicated, I never saw a loss in power or performance so I haven't had a clue what to do.

I changed the plugs thinking that what it was. (it was not). I thought it was the coil packs so I bought a new set of four, which I have NOT installed yet.
