Volkswagen parts reviews

Stoptech all the way. European car magazine has done a couple reviews on these and both have been positive. They are tuned for your car's master cyinder and ABS by altering the piston diameter to meet the needs of your car. Everything is built in house so they have total control of what is going on there and are really quite a work of art. If you've seen a cutaway of the vanes on that rotor you know what I am talking about. They are also two-piece caliper rather than a monbloc which makes them stronger. It's really all in the details with a stoptech kit.

Braking is sure, thanks to large four-piston calipers all around, though the pedal effort is not as progressive as I'd like.

If you are doing some serious track use then I would go with Stoptechs. I like the design of the caliper better even though they weigh more, larger pad area, and I believe thicker rotors.

my water pump went at 80K (KM)'s (got it towed to georgetown VW) and when i got my OEM replacement it was metal... compared to the plastic one they took out... Saw it touched it... (they showed me the old plastic one) i thought it was weird and they said in 2002 and after they have metal water pumps... before that it was "plastic"? anyways its in and i have a metal one... and i got it from a VW dealer... OEM part...

Ok this is what's on my windshield. // SEKURIT saint gobain E2 43r-001126 dot 27m75 as1 ^ 3. ^ tinted ^ is a triangle. Hope that helps you out.

i had them on my mk3 jetta and there was a huge stopping difference without locking them up. a very good investment , initially they came with hawk pads they were too noisy and i switched to ebc pads and i loved the brakes quiet and stopping distance was probably reduced by 1/3

before you go tearing down your engine, go buy a mann filter (has a check valve in it) from a vw parts plce and have your oil changed with detergent oil, i had a bit of carbon build up, did this and solved all my problems.

Filters: OEM Mann/Mahle/Hengst only Oil: 15w40 winter, 20w50 winter I've never had to replace an oil pump or cam followers(\"lifters\") on any of my cars. VW engines, especially higher-mileage ones, love thicker oil.

I will say this about RainX, like most things, it used to be a better quality product as it lasted much longer between applications.

Those guys don't replace you crush washer, and the oil the use is crap.
