I still have the stock wheels and the original Bridgestone Potenza tires. Not being a track junkie, the Bridgestones have served me well and, when they need replaced, I'll probably get them again just because they must have a sturdy, strong sidewall that helps protect the wheel.
Volkswagen parts reviews
Conti's on my R since 1000K miles. I'm at 24K now and they're holding up great. I'm in CT, we get some good snow events here, not like Chi town I'm sure, but the couple times I had to go out in it I wasn't too worried.
I've been really happy with the Potenza RE980AS+ on my 2002 New Beetle Sport. The Tire Rack performance numbers are very good across the board.
Did 18” dedicated rims with Michelin X-ICE (as I’ve loved how competent they are on dry cold roads as well as snowy ones.
Mein Mechaniker meinte zu mir beim letzten Wechsel letztes Jahr ich soll mir keine brembi kaufen. Hab dann auf die ate für meinen Golf 7 gegriffen. Hab zwar noch keine Meinung zur Langlebigkeit aber bisher bin ich zufrieden. Keine unwucht keine Geräusche und bremsen gut.
hatte auf meinem Golf 4 (Variant, 1.9 pd mit 74kw) nur ATE Powerdisk, um den Verschleiß zu sehen, mit vorrausschauender Fahrweise haben die Scheiben immer über 140tkm gehalten, Beläge um die 70tkm. weiterer Vorteil ist die weiße Beschichtung (nicht abputzen!) am Anfang vorsichtig Bremsen, er kann auf den ersten Fahrten auch qualmen. die verhindert aber auch Rost innen der Bremsscheiben für einen großteil der Zeit.
So I looked some more and ended up finding it. It was coming from the front of the pan by two bolts. I did go to VW and they said it was the oil pan gasket.
I’ve seen mixed reviews of them. With some saying they aren’t great in the wet(acceptable but lacking when compared to others), other saying they wear really quickly.
Has anyone experienced or heard of a cabin air filter being damaged by heat? At first I thought it was rodent damage or mold, but those little white balls resembled burnt plastic. I took a lighter and burnt another section of the filter and it made the exact same damage.
Bosch wipes still made an awful noise on my Taos.
