I had the ETX14 in my N/A R32 for over 2 years and only time it really drains down is short starts and stops from the afterrun coolant pumps running for 5 minutes.

Pros: lasted over 2 years
Cons: drains with short stops

Make sure you get BLUE tinted glass, or it wont match...had to do it to my GLI the only place I could find it was the dealership, then had someone else install it right there. Price wasnt that bad about 300...

Cons: hard to find

Hawk Performance Brake pads
izzo
  • Braking:
Rating 5.0

Instead I rebuilt my original calipers with a rebuilt kit from AutoHausAZ, bought a set of Hawk HPS brake pads, ECS stainless steel vinyl-wrapped brake lines all around, and Brembo cross-drilled and slotted rotors times four. Finally I used ATE synthetic blue brake fluid and a power bleeder, which I highly recommend for our cars.

Pros: brake system upgrade

Bosch Alternator
petesell
  • Warning light:
Rating 4.0

if you're planning on keeping the car a while then $365 installed is reasonable for a refurbished bosch (use the same mfr & amp that was OE) and that should come w/warantee & last about as long as the original.

Pros: reasonable price, comes with warantee
Vehicle: Volkswagen

KONI Shock absorbers

Rating 4.0

I've had Konis under my 2001 T4 for a while now....my feeling is that they work very well in the front but I'm less convinced in the rear...

Pros: work very well
Cons: less convinced in rear

ATE Brake discs

Just did a brake job, new ATE OEM rotors up front with new Hawk HPS pads. Just did the run to bed them in, and I'm hearing a wierd noise. When I step on the brakes at a moderate or heavy level I hear kind of a "plunking" noise, I guess you could call it. It has a rhythm that changes with the speed of the car (i.e. the plunking slows down as the wheels slow down).

Pros: new rotors and pads
Cons: weird noise, plunking sound

Fram Oil filter

Fram makes a decent filter for everone else but not for VWs. Something about the cold start bypass valve not working well, or something.

Cons: bypass valve issue, not for VWs
