Castrol euro has been good to me for the last 120k miles.

the adapter is a puzzle to figure out, but the blades are the best and well worth the frustration.
I just had this problem with my daily R, it has 141,000 miles and the battery light came on. The alternator really isn't that hard to remove so I just took it off. My issue was the brushes in the regulator were worn out. I bought some new brushes; I bought 2 sets for $11. Fairly easy job, just google Valeo alternator voltage regulator brush replacement and you get a few DIY videos. BTW my slip rings looked almost new, no grooves at all.
Falken Azenis FK510 with EBC YellowStuff ( daily ); Vitour Tempesta Enzo with Ferodo DS2500 front & EBC YellowStuff rear on 17x8 Fast FC04 ( track ) Motul RBF600 & DCTF; Euro Sport Upper Front Stress Bar; SuperPro Rear Sway Bar & Endlinks Magic Intercooler; Audi RS3 brake ducts
I just mounted these on my wife’s Alltrack… not the most “performance” forward but quiet, safe, and plenty of grip..
Ive been using peak for a while across a 2016 jetta when i owned it and now in my 2021 tiguan. Works fine

Replaced the alternator - twice. The second one failed as a result of a jump start scorching a relay in the voltage :-( Replaced the starter (in 2024), First alternator failed at 49K miles - oddly, when the car came out of the shop, the oil light came on and they found debris in the pick up so I got a new long block (under warranty so I suspect VOA knew of some defect for that model/year). Had one strut bearing fail at about 90K miles. I also had the AC recharged - car actually came from the factory with too much pressure (would ice up on humid days). I've stuck to dealer maintenance for everything except the strut repair and the usual annual CC alignments (well documented issue...) and keep all fluids (coolant/brakes/DSG) fresh. My car is still a daily driver - I'm probably due another battery soon but it runs great. I'm tempted to freshen the struts and control arms and add a rear sway bar - and possibly a tune, but I also see a Golf R in my future! I've run 3 other cars to 250K miles (Volvo 850, Highlander and an Audi 4KQ) and I don't see any reason why the dub can't get to 200K+ particularly if you keep up with a full maintenance plan. You may need to have some carbon blasting done at 100K, have the timing chain tension and service the PCV (leaving that too long leads to the carbon build up in the DI engines) but those are like 50K mile intervals
Ich habe beim Golf 4 in der Familie Stark Stoßdämpfer verbaut und gammeln nach zwei Jahren.
