Volkswagen Beetle parts reviews

So first thing I ordered was a set of Koni sport shocks and struts. These were on sale for BF at $612 at Koni online store. When I drove the car home after it was unloaded I was glad I already had the shocks and struts as the steering was super light and twitchy, car did not know where it was going. After install the car was transformed, the Konis tightened up the steering and feel, car stays flat in the curves and feels more like a Porsche.

2008 VW Beetle is a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder. Yeah, 5 cylinder. It takes 6.3 quarts

go to any auto shop and ask for a fuel filter for a seventies Volkswagen beetle.

I use Rotella in old VW Bug. Seems to work well but i put very few miles on the car.

I just run the usual small inline deals, Wix or Beck/Arnley filters.

My 2017 Classic Edition has 24,500km just an oil change and Cabin filter.

Local VW dealer did the belt, pump, rollers, tensioners with OEM parts and it cost $1700 bucks.

I'm running on Kumhos, so I can't say much about others. Kumho (KM17) is OK, but it generates a flat spot in few weeks if car just sits and then first 10 miles are bumpy. Quite cheap so perhaps I can stand that, but not really much cheaper than others, so I won't buy another set.

VW OEM parts are expensive as fuck, VW Dealers wont give you the part number so you can source it cheaper either, they're called stealerships for a reason, partners VW Beetle was $1500 for 1 headlight.

Just wanted to update this thread. I too have a 2013 vw beetle. I originally put on the mk5 r32 front calipers which was rubbing on my rims. They were squeaky and the brake response was way too much when just pulling out when first started.
