Volkswagen parts reviews

Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.

Man, eu am avut debica all season pe prima mea masina, la 200 de lei bucata, nu exista diferenta de zgomot (pe un golf 4 ofc), nu alunecau si franau corespunzator.

Eu le-am pus pe un Golf R. Le am puse de vreo luna, nimic suspect momentan, masina mi se pare ca se simte exact la fel ca inainte. O sa vad cum se comporta iarna

Happy to report the upgrade seems to be worth the effort. The brakes seemed very smooth and responded well on all the downhill coming through the mountains. No noticeable noise, overheating or warping of any kind. Just smooth consistent brake and pedal feel for the entire trip out and back.

I had the same code popping up onky after redlining. I had 2 months prior, replaced the oil filter housing on my atlas 21' 2.0t and vw passat 15' 1.8t with the metal one... off brand from amazon but works well on the atlas, so no issues, EPC would be nonstop until i turned off the car and back on. Switched the housing back to stock with a new filter and BOOM. Problem literally solved.

Go with the Giro's and leave them on permanently. Better cooling and braking and cheaper to replace just the discs (2 piece rotor) on future replacement.

Fuel pressure regulator replaced with Bosch, CPS is Bremi, Bosch was not available. Voltage to cps is 2.5v, is that normal? I read that for many vw models it is 2.5, in most cases it is 5v however. Also when moving metal object close to CPS voltage reading does not change on all 2 sensors. It would throw P0321 code after many attempts to start a car.

I've been running Mobil ESP 0w20 (VW508) since my 1st oil change at 3k miles (5 months into ownership), then another oil change at 7600 miles 10 months later. I've ran a few Auto-X events, a light educational track day (not pushing the car too much), and certainly am otherwise not shy with the throttle at all. I have also had 1k miles on my stage 1 tune since July.

I have 2017 Tiguan and took it to the dealership for all the servicing. I have been having engine issues since Sept 2023. The timing chain was replaced and ever since my engine has been losing oil.

I recently changed the oil in a diesel Passat (150,000 kms) which had Castrol Edge put in 12,000 kms ago during the last service by a VW dealer. I have changed many oils in VW diesels and found the Castrol oil that came out to be the dirtiest, sticky, staining and sort of gritty oil ever.
