I have used RainX for as log as I can remember and probably even before that (something like 20+ years maybe?). I have never had problem w/ streaks; then again, I use the RainX often enough that I don’t use the wipers as the water beads-off @ ~25mph.
Jurid,like Pagid and ATE,and Lucas/Girling are all OEM suppliers to VW,the Jurid pads are a OEM replacement and make a hell of a lot of dust,but are less likely to "squeek" due to their softer compound.
After driving these tires, I noticed that the ride was much firmer and settled. The wheels now feem much heavier than before. You can feel the difference. They are very grippy. I floored it a couple of time to try and peel out, and it was very hard. In all honestly, theyre good tires, but my only gripe is that they are a little too heavy IMHO.
I have the stock VW battery under the hood and an optima yellow top in the trunk with a 5 farad cap as well, now Im doing DB drags, and I also use my car as a daily driver, I have yet to see a single bit of strain on my electrical system and belive me I have two Autometer volt guages just to be safe for monitoring.
I also bought a new fuel filter for it and will be 100% sure to prime it well before installation.
As for the correct plug, I got a set of bosch plugs for it - the part number was the same as the ones I took out, so I am assuming this is the correct plug.
I have a Golf 2.0 GL replaced front brakes with ATE rotors and Mintex Reds this time last year.
I ran this fill from mid Fall through the winter until 4/14/03. I filled up with about .25 of a qt 3000 miles into the interval. Analysis done by Blackstone Laboratories. Total miles on oil: 4,886 DAVID: Although we expect an engine’s break-in period to be past by about 10,000 miles, we suspect that the 5 ppm lead we found in this sample is from lingering wear-in. Upper-end wear (see aluminum, chrome, and iron) looks great. Lead should decrease in the next sample, as should silicon, which is leftover sealers used at the factory. Insolubles were good at 0.4%, showing your oil filtration system is getting the job done.
The visibility of my jetta ecode fogs are pretty weak at night if you do not turn on the low beam. However, sometimes I turn on my fog lights while driving at night, it helps lighting up the side only, not the front. btw... I uses Osram all wheather bulbs. pretty cool, eh?
Not amazed by my mintex pads either but i havent tried anyhing else- all i can say is that i thought they would have made a bigger difference.
