Wix Oil filter

Clean Throttle Body, Clean MAF, Change air-filter if needed (manual recommends every two years unless you live in a dusty environment), change fuel filter ( depending on mileage or time. I do mine every two or three years, if it has never been done, do it). Run a good injector cleaner through (Chevron Techron if you can find it)the fuel system, then run another tank of gas through, and then do an oil change with synthetic oil and a good quality oil filter (Wix are good (napa) or any of the OE/OEM German filters like mann, mahle or bosch.).

Pros: good quality oil filter

MEYLE Brake discs

No, the Corrado G60 11" 4-bolt rotors bolt right onto the MKIII 10.1" 4-bolt hubs. I bolted on Corrado G60 Girling 54 11" calipers and Meyle Corrado 11" 4-bolt rotors to my 97 Jetta GT without any problems at all.

Pros: no problems at all

YOKOHAMA Tires

  • Grip:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.0

I ran s.drives on my mk5 for a little while (ended up getting rid of them because some jackass at the tire place used the wrong wheels weights and the tires cupped badly) I was pretty happy with them, stuck well, not too loud (but had some noise for sure), and decently priced.

Pros: stuck well, decently priced
Cons: some noise

Hawk Performance Brake pads

  • Braking:
  • Noise:
Rating 3.0

I have a clunking noise coming from my front brakes, whenever i hit a bump. This has been ruled to be the outside pad moving around in the caliper. Pretty much everything else in the front suspension has been changed, so i'm pretty sure it is the pad. Mechanic had the car yesterday and said everything looks tight as well. The car stops fine, and there's plenty of pad wear left so i'm not going to switch out the pads or anything. I was hoping someone could chime in and let me know if there's something that can be done to get rid of the "clunk", or do i just live with it. Anyone else ever have this issue? FYI, It's a 2000 Golf with Hawk HPS pads.

Pros: car stops fine, plenty of wear
Cons: clunking noise from front brakes

Rating 1.0

I swear, this is the worst tire I have ever encountered in my entire life. Sure it rides smooth and soft, and makes almost no noise whatsoever, but is SUCKS as a tire! The tire gives up traction all the time. It totally destroys my confidence when driving my 2003 GTI 1.8T Sport.

Pros: rides smooth, makes no noise
Cons: gives up traction
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
