Volkswagen parts reviews

Plugs have been on for almost 4 days. No problems! Idle and runs smoother! HP feels the same!

Surveys on several VW forums have Castrol 20w50 a clear winner for quality, price and availability, but other good brands like Valvoline, BP, Shell etc get honourable mentions too.

If you run it HARD than a 20/50 oil is good. I run castrol non synthetic, but I'm thinking of switching to Royal Purple. Still want to get more opinions before I do the change over but I heard good things about that brand.

i had a bosch 75 amp alternator on my beetle, w/ a huge amp wired up and it was great... never had problems w/ it...

Mine came with the Klebers which seem to be pretty good tyres.

Kleebers wear very well.

Agreed with RacerX on all his posts. As an FYI, the VW "high performance" brake fluid sold over the counter at VW dealers is actually better than Castrol GT/LMA and is cheaper(at least around here).

castrol 5-50 synthetic in my vr6 passat , 5-40 mobil-1 delvac in my TDI passat.

Basically...modest if any gains involved with going with a straight drop in.....the only real benefit IMO....is that for the $60 air filter...you never have to buy another one again...that's the main benefit as far as I'm concerned.

mintex red-box suck, you want a set, I'll give you mine. I have had mine for about a week they are ok for grandma style braking, but once you really get on them, you are srewed for an hour (of light braking).
