Bosch Alternator
Ice_ken
  • Warning light:
Rating 5.0

I had to fit a new alternator since the old one had died on me: I replaced the non-original alternator with a bosch 90A alternator OEM VW/AUDI. It got up to 13.9volts now, the regulator limits it to 14V.

Pros: voltage up to 13.9V
Cons: old one had died

Continental Tires
Curta01
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
Rating 5.0

I went with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS for my 2008 EOS LUX, replacing the OEM Goodyear Eagles. While no snow (yet), I'm very happy with them. The car handling is significantly better and, very importantly, the squeal when accelerating is gone.

Pros: better car handling
Cons: squeal when accelerating

Kumho Tires

I have had both sets on cars I have owned. the kh16 is more of a highway tire, it grips good in all weather conditions. The LX platinum is good in all conditions accept snow, it gets ok traction because of the softer rubber used. It grips better than any tire I have had for the price of them in dry conditions

Pros: grips good in all weather
Cons: LX platinum bad in snow

Pirelli Tires

Rating 4.0

My original Pirelli's were loud after 10K miles. I couldn't wait to get rid of them. The Yoko's are very quiet with exceptional handling characteristics.

Pros: very quiet, exceptional handling
Cons: Pirelli's were loud
Mileage: 10000 km

OEM Volkswagen Headlights

So I figured out why the headlamps were not aiming at the same level.. it's cuz the auto body shop replaced my left headlight with a new one without adjusting it. So I manually adjusted the light using the adjusting screws to match the right side.

Pros: manually adjusted the light
Cons: new headlight unadjusted
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Cons: doesn't fit battery cover

The pump looks to be too beat up to keep. Even though I could maybe drimmel the bad spots down, I'm just going to get a fresh pump.

Pros: getting a fresh pump
Cons: pump looks beat up
