My RE50s were also loud at 16K. I replaced them with Falken Ziex RE 912s at 20k and they are very quiet.
Volkswagen parts reviews
I have used Fram filters for more than 40 years and have NEVER had a problem with them...used the 2870 on my wife's Passat for 8 years...works great
i've used the fram 2870a for many years(i had a '79,'84,and '99)in all of my 4cyl VW's-i never had a problem with them.
As for your plugs, bosch is deff the recommended brand, but just about any high quality plug designed for your engine will work fine. (im currently running platinum in mine, and their fine, but lots of people have reported idel issues with them.) The motor was designed around a copper plug, so thats what it should run on best. so bosch copper is deff the way to go.
But from my experience with it, it has made a difference in several of my vehicles (not only VW).
i run DCPR9EIX.. boost is at 24psi when i race.. ive only changed them out after my first 25 or so passes.. have another 25 on my current ones.. no issues yet
I have got the Bridgestone RE960A/S and they are just a good all around tire. I have put more than 30k miles on them and have only one complaint...some noise. That is it. They handle great in the dry, wet, and even snow here in Michigan. They also wear great.
I love my PZero Nero M&Ss. They're VERY confident in the wet.
i mean i guess the gear oil is ok.. i had redline and liked it a little better. i think i had MT-90 tho ..
I already have slotted and x-drilled brembo's with pagid blue box all around. I'm in need of replacement since the fronts are warped.
