Volkswagen parts reviews

Akebono front brake pads

Sorry I missed this post, they are pretty good. Some super minor checking going on (inside reflective surface) if you want me to nit pick something about them. Fit wise they are perfect.

I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.

I replaced the camshaft position sensor — the metal tabs inside were bent, and the diagnostic tool didn’t detect it. After replacing it, the car started building boost again, but the misfire was still there. Then I replaced all four ignition coils and spark plugs, and now everything runs fine.

Using Vcds and advice from Ross-Tech, the judgement was the RR abs sensor wasn’t working- cheap and easy fix to try first. I ordered a Bosch, made in Germany , cost was about US$35-40, part number 0986594560, got it from Amazon. While waiting for the part, the 7 lights would go away and come back, my cruise control would kick off. I replaced the sensor in my daughter’s driveway, had to buy a couple of tools, and all the lights went away. I returned home from Ottawa yesterday, 1552kms in 14 hours, including stops. Car worked flawlessly, got 900kms on a tank of 87 octane.

My 2018 Golf R was doing the some thing similar . I already had a new battery, so wasn't that. Turned out it was front left speed sensor.

I went to 18 inch wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires hoping that it would help. Improved the ride and reduced my stress over blow outs on the 20 inch OEM tires, but didn\u2019t fix the noisy suspension.

They changed something on the Arteon vs other VW models -- the procedure is the same, but those tabs just don't bend. I got it done, but it should not be that difficult.

Our 2017 Polo, 85km, had a water pump replaced by dealer a couple of years ago.

$1600. Had a heart attack.

I used a Fram filter on my VW and it developed a knocking ticking sound lol. Switched it out for a Mann and it was fine.
