Volkswagen parts reviews

Here's the old pulley. You can see the center section just sort of let go and the outer section started to slip around the center piece... It's tough to see; but there are little tiny cracks along the inside of the out piece. You can also see a chip on one part... The nice, shiny new pulley...

For the past 5 seasons, I've been running 5w-30 Mobil 1 but recently switched to Red Line 30 Wt with no ill effects. Typical oil temps (racing on in the Mid-Atlantic area with temperatures and humidity in the 90s) are 250ish with 30-45 PSI hot oil pressure at full chat.

yeah the oem ones arent (THAT) expensive and they work great.

when i had my 2000 Jetta TDI I used Shell Rottela T full synthetic. 5-40 i think. blue bottle you can get at your local mega-lo mart good stuff and cheap check there web site.

i use mobil delvac 1 5w40 synthetic oil in my 2000 beetle tdi.

buy a brand new Bosch one....the aftermarket ones suck, ask me how I know....this is one of the few areas where buying the original bosch oem part makes a huge difference...they are usually around 30 dollars and should be lasting you at least 2-3 years

OEM plugs are NGK... they are the only ones that actually work. you can use copper over the platinums to save a few $$, but you'll be changing them more often. as for wires, the same, use OEM, I am and I have been running a stg III s/c kit...colder, but still NGKs, and BERU wires.

I like them a lot, actually. As you've undoubtedly found out, they're one of the few reasonably priced tires that are also rated for our EVs (and by a good margin, too). I've been running ours since August of last year, and even though the EV is our 3rd vehicle I have had ocaision to run it @ ~75-80mph for extended periods of time out to Tucson and back on the interstate, through slush and standing water during the winter storms we've had this year, and everything in between (we don't get snow around these parts) and it's really been a smooth, quiet tire. I have Koni reds on our van, so it handles OK, but, I think the strength of this tire is its volume (read comfort) and long-wearing tread.

some mann filters have a nut at the buttom to make it easier to repmove on g60 but tis more cash for a dumm nut

Now as far as brakepads go, stay away from Mintex Redbox and go with PBR/Axxis Deluxe Plus or Metal Master pads. I had really bad experiences with Mintex pads, and I'm currently running Axxis Ultimate pads on my W8!
