Volkswagen parts reviews

Buy filters in bulk from RockAuto. Buy oil Castrol Euro Car from Walmart when it’s in sale.

Liquimoly is more expensive, sure, but that’s what I buy. Comes in a nice little kit with a filter and I know I don’t have anything to worry about.

I use Pennzoil platinum euro because its dirt cheap from walmart and meets all specs. 135,xxx kms so far on the same oil.

I believe BOSCH were the OEM for the spark plugs on these. I went with Copper/Nickel plugs the the originals were Platinum, again I believe, I'm not 100 percent on that. I'm using a shortened maintenance schedule because I use the car for Auto and Rallycross so I'm ok with changing the plugs a bit more often.

In addition, replaced air filter and cabin filter with Mann products at approx. 10,000 miles.

Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.

The previous iteration fit my VW perfectly. This latest doesn\u2019t even click into place (tried 3). Ended up paying 2x on the Bosch at CT but at least it works.

I also have 2017 Tiguan with 160,000 km. Just had mechanic check it as I heard rattling on startup and they recommended replacement.

My GTI’s water pump shat itself around 60k kilometres too :( going strong since but it’s a very common fault unfortunately

A couple weekends ago I first tried to tackle the issue with the brake pedal nearly hitting the floor while driving, I figured it was do to the brakes needing to be bled, so on a weekend I put the car up in the air, proceeded to snap both bleeder screws on the calipers, swap on used ones off my red 16v and bleed the brakes.
