Volkswagen parts reviews

I have this turbo on my 2014 Ckra Passat. No joke it can run a sub 5 second 0-60. I guarantee I could run a 4.9, not saying that’s insane but for a 240hp diesel Passat, it’s beating a lot of cars that make more power. It’s a torque thing, I think this gtc1556vz can push 400 torque maximum. Which I have all the mods other than having stock cp4 and stock injectors. Injectors aren’t needed for upgrade at this power level, but I could definitely use the hpfp cp3 conversion. But even without the cp3 conversion, this setup is definitely insane for what it is.

Driven like it was stolen 55k miles I noticed that I've used a slight amount and the 1/5 amount is about what i have seen. I also noticed that it's been a little less since I cleaned my air filter.

well done vw for letting me get 77k out of the factory pads/rotors

It has been two weeks since the repair without issues, so I am going to call this one solved. If I was paying for this out of pocket in the future, I would only replace the thermostat and not the pump as that is what was closing and causing the issue.

It gets regular 10K oil changes with Liqui Moly Top Tec 0w20, and doesn\u2019t burn a drop between oil changes.

Since I'm replying -- have noticed 0 oil consumption on my Mk8 in the last two years.

Liqui Moly is just mediocre MADE IN GERMANY oil. Castrol Edge Titanium 0w40 is a good oil, as is Mobil 1 Euro FS 0w40 IMO Redline 0w40 or Amsoil Signature Series 0w40 are better oils.

TRW Ceramic Pads: Good for city driving, almost not dust, would not recommend for any track

I have Laufenn here on my Passat I got from Carmax and today I finally checked the DOT number to see how old they are cause I wanted to replace them already due to me thinking they were old af and needed replacement. Well turns out they are 3 years old and perform so bad that the car slips even on dry asphalt.

I've installed a new Mahle/Behr heater core on my MK4 Golf and it popped at the crimps after a few thousand miles. Went with an OEM Valeo after that.
