I spent this weekend driving my R with the OEM Dunlop A/S M+S tires in light snow, snow that was about 6" deep, ice covered roads and wet roads that were iced over in certain locations (black ice) such as bridges etc.
Well I finally had a chance to road test the new Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D tires on the R32 on wet ice in freezing rain. Bearing in mind that I have driven VWs on top quality snow tires for many years, I can say I was pleasantly impressed with both the R32 and the Dunlop 3D tires.
I have a T3 on a 1.9TD and it does seem to pull nice.....but there is lag to it...I have to wait till about 2200rpm until i get some spool. The T3 gives a nice pull after about 2.5k rpm. overall I am happy with the T3 turbo.....I havent started turning up the boost yet.....but its a lot more "alive" with the bigger turbo.
I bought Rob a MKI windshield last year for his birthday. It has yet to be installed, but the local Novus people said they'd install it for $150. They would check the metal around where the glass is for rust, and check the firewall for leaks before installation.
had the same problem in the gti...just got a replacement coil pack for 32$ at the VW dealer and was good to go...i hear its a common thing to replace...
Use a Fox fuel pump. It's the same - and foxes from Brazil run E85 99% of the time down there.
When it was time for my 80K service I used Bosch FR7HPP222 plugs gapped at .040. The current owner is now at 110K and the car is running great.
As far as glow plugs, I would consider the following to be the better ones on the market: Bosch Beru Monark NGK
In my passator, I had a KnN right on the maf, it felt awesome but when the engine gets hot, the hood thermo liner didn't let any heat escape, to the car felt like an 8v
Me too, so I went back to the stock size filter and the issue improved.
