Put these on for the first time after running potenza since new; honestly it’s like having a new car. They are the perfect road tyre for this car.
Volkswagen parts reviews
I went with Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS, as I got too good of a deal to pass up, and have been very happy with them so far!
I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.
Been running yokohama advan sports on my GTI for 3 years and they are solid for the money. They aren't as good as my Michelins but for daily driving you would never know. If you drive hard they will talk and are reliable about the break away point and don't do anything you don't expect which is what I want just can't cut a corner quite as good as my Mich on my R32.
So, I changed the oil today with a brief Lubimoly flush to make sure I'm starting with a clean engine inside. The supposedly fresh oil was not green and the filter was made in china with no branding. I'm glad I didn't trust the used car salesman.
Finally got the LH Battery put in today.... Had been putting it off for a few months. It went a lot better than I thought it would, all things considered.
Well she ran out of free oil changes at VW and so I went online to research which oil is recommended to use in the VW and found that just to buy the filter and enough oil that meets the VW specification requirements would cost close to $80. I can buy the stuff to do an oil change in the Lexus for less than $30
2018 Tiguan w/181k miles...purchased new. Overall the motor has held up no issues other than wiring harness. I never go beyond 10k miles for oil changes and 80k miles for trans oil. I had to replace a rear brake electronic module and a few months later one of the rear calipers.
After getting mine back together, and filling it back up with coolant, i found the new thermostat from the dealership was stuck wide open and the car wouldn’t get over 110*F.
Had all sorts of issues. The glow plug circuit is extremely finicky.
