I have the standard head lights. I think they are great. The way I look at it one less then to go wrong. Plus I saved $1600.00.
Volkswagen parts reviews
I just bought and am DIY installing a set of Ate PremiumOne discs and pads for the front on my wagon. They've got a coating similar to the original rotors - I'll report back once I get 'em on.
I just put new plugs in (NGK Iridium IX) and the engine does not shake/miss fire as much as before.
The AFS system is amazing, BUT I find that even the base standard headlights is sufficiently bright at night. Even on the dark texas roads. I've driven a number of japanese and domestic vehicles in the past couple of years, and nothing with standard headlights comes close to the passats standard headlights in terms of brightness and amount of coverage it shines on the road.
I have this tire from discount and so far I've been really impressed. Good ride, quiet, and its done everything I've asked performance wise.
I'm running PBR Delux pads, rotors are Brembo Fronts, ATE rears. Got whole set up for around $225-250 from GetCoolParts a year or so ago..they often have sales...and were doing so on the rotors at the time so I'm sure prices now are a bit more. Front pads made some noise...not squeal, more like a rattle (yes I double checked the anti rattle clips)...just about the time I was gonna pull the pads and apply anti rattle shims...problem went away...been working great ever since. There is rust on the nonbraking surfaces, but no staining etc. so I'm not goin to the trouble of painting the rotor hats etc.
I had a set of nitto's on my mk3 gti vr6.they were a great tire.
I'll stick with the $200 Mahles.
They're not great but they are somewhat better than the Michelin MXV4 Plus tires that came with my Passat. I had HX MXM4's on 17\" Long Beaches from my 1.8T Jetta that I have been using on my TDI. Now that they've worn out, I've just replaced them with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions. These should give me the kind of cornering and wet weather grip the Michelins lacked.
everything else runs pretty poorly on our cars. especially the bosch +4's
