Volkswagen parts reviews

I have the 54's on my mk3 jetta 2.0, great upgrade.

Added new pads (Pagid..$100.00/whole car) and brake fluid (ATE blue $12.00 quart), trimmed the stock splash shield in the rear and used the shields from the wreck up front and finished the install a few days ago. Brakes feel great and nicely fill the wheel space on my new 18" wheels.

The MKIV is definitley biased towards the rear. A grippy pad like Ferodo DS2500 up front helps a lot!

i just did my first oil change with amsoil 5-40 European blend. i heard stories about mobil1 burning oil more than other synthetics.

Here is a 2.0 owner with a 1999 GL and 56K on the clock. I decided to use K&N drop in filter as a replacement on the CAI. So here is what I noticed after I put K&N on my puny 2.0: 1. 1.7 - 2.3 EXTRA mpg 2. Better throtle reponse, especially above 3K rpms 3. No problems concerning the MAF and oil flying off the filter I think my $45.87 was well spent!

Your experience is your experience- that's fine. I have seen gains. My fuel economy has gone up about two miles per gallon on average.

I just turned over 9K on my car. installed a K&N on the day I got the car with 34 miles on the clock. After reading your post the other day on this subject, I decided to check my MAF and intake for signs of mineral oil. There were no signs of it. Not on this car, or the Jetta 1.8T I had before this one. I ran that car with a K&N panel filter for for approx. 36,000 miles until I sold it for the GTI. I have owned (6) cars in my life. (4) of them had K&N filters in them. I have never had a problem with any of them as a result of these filters.

Agreed ^^ I did mine a wek ago and the sound is great! The DV is definately audible now and the turbo spools a little quicker and whines louder! You'll get a little better mileage like alreadt stated and I'm sure you'll gain a few HP, but its not very noticeable.

the Wilwoods are quite light. they don't have much pad contact area though. the big advantage with the Stoptechs would be the cooling and contact area.

RainX actually degrades your wiper blade. I used it on my x-Jetta and my blades went and started to chatter.
