Volkswagen parts reviews

New muffler (Walker)

I switched from valvoline 20w50 to castrol. No problems since. Before, my temp was going haywire. Castrol solved it for me.

New tires (Sumitomo HTR-4, 195/50/15) All parts replaced have been done in the last 10 miles.

We both run Autolite Platinum and they fired up no matter how cold it is on the first try.

car has been running with champion plugs so thats what i put in and it reved to 6500 just fine......the car likes the new stuff i put in a lot.

I think for the NS SofSports, the Bilstein HD's would actually be a decent, if slightly firm match. The SofSports, contrary to their name, are not soft springs. They are 30-45% stiffer than stock.

I use Blizzak Mz-01's. Sure they're soft but that's what they're made for:snow & ice.

I'm running the dual electrode Bosch plugs without any problems.

I tried/am trying to fit a set of E36 lights into my jetta. They are a bit wider, and shorter than the stock headlights. You would need a hood spoiler to fill the gap above the headlight, you would need to make a custom spacer to fill the gap between the headlight and the fender, you would have to cut up the headlight, the radiator support, and part of the inside of the fender. I got one light to \"fit\" and it looks pretty dope, but it doesn't fit the contour (sp) of the car, they are more square and flat than the stock lights. Oh and you would have to make the brackets to mount the lights to the car. Quite a PITA for something that looks kind of cool, but doesn't quite fit right...

Stock VW jack is worth jack! Its dangerous to use as many of us in this and other forums have had the jack collapse.
