Volkswagen parts reviews
I do have a Yellow top Optima battery in my VW Jetta MKV 2007 and I just had one problem a little time ago since one of the terminals needed to be tight again... but that's pretty much it, it works just fine.
i change at the extended interval and use only 100% synthetic oil usually Amsoil. I plan on using the same in my TDI at the normal service interval unless vw makes a full syn diesel oil
the clutch Exedy OEM Clutch Kit - VW VR6 12V Corrado 1992 - 1995 VR6 Golf 1995 - 1998 VR6 Jetta 1999 & 2004 VR6 Passat 1993 - 1997 VR6
I got two Goodyear Allegra FuelMax tires for the front of my Jetta before driving to Vancouver and they handled superbly in the rain we encountered every day on the road! I like to drive enthusiastically and they kept up just fine.
Installed a new Coolant Temperature Sensor Flushed cooling system Changed thermostat from 87C to 80C Installed new Radiator Fan switch 85-95C Installed new heater control valve as old valve was seeping coolant Replace all hoses
There's a difference, but it isn't great, I ran mk1 rear Koni's on my old syncro with a pair of Jetta GTI 16v rear springs, and regular mk2 Koni and 16v golf front springs, and it sat level, and handled great.
I took my car to the dealer to drain the factory fill oil at 1400 miles and have Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 oil added, they also did "Updated software level, performed 24R9 Recall"
But otherwise, Bosch FLR8LDCU+.
those sumitomos are a good deal but i put those on my wifes passat wagon in april and all them ****s is hopping now. its like they are 'almost' shifted belts.
