Volkswagen parts reviews

I only run Valvoline VR-1 40-wt in my air-cooled VWs

eu pe passat b6 am michelin crossclimate 2 all season iar tatal meu tot pe b6 are cauciucuri de iarna, nu stiu marca. nu am observat diferen\u021ba

My mk5 rabbit is on its 4th set of Powerstop pads in the rear since I swapped all four corners to their pads and rotors. The fronts will probably be changed this coming summer. They still have plenty of meat on them.

The OEM wipers weren’t great on my Taos. I had good luck with Michelin wipers from Costco and cheap (~5-7) Hella wipers from Rock Auto. I’ve also used Bosch and Valeo wipers from Amazon. There are so many different models it’s hard to recommend a single one. Most are good, even the cheaper ones.

I went w Pirelli All Season UHP in standard size and they are exceptionally good in dry, wet, “wintery mix” and snow. This is my sixth German AWD car, from Audi, BMW and Merc and by far the best in dry and snow conditions.

There is a slight delay, but I haven't seen it be as long as 2+ seconds. It seems to be about 1 second to maybe 1.2 seconds from the time I pull to when the spray starts. But none of my VWs are instant - my Arteon and my last 4 Passats, plus my 2015 Audi Allroad, were all a 1/2 second to 3/4 second delay to start squirting.

Rear brakes were a warranty recall / wipers were chattering , adjusted better now , going too replace with Bosch icon

The battery VW uses in the ID.4 is trash. I had it replaced under warranty in my 2021 after about 2 years when my car died in the garage and I had to get assistance. The tow truck driver got it going with a jump starter. It\u2019s now just out of warranty in year 4 and I get the \u201cLow 12V\u201d warning on cold days.

My front brake discs keep getting warped after 500-1000km. Same issue with 3 sets of new, quality (Zimmermann) discs. The vibration that returns after said 500-1000km is always exactly the same.
