Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

Have Haka R2's on my TDI and they are hands down the best winter tires I've driven, noticeably better than Michelin X-Ice XI3's on my wife's Golf7.

I just use German made Castrol Edge 0w40 (502 certified) oil. Ive used this oil since the car had its first oil change and it does not burn a drop and car runs great, i now have 59k miles and shes drives new as ever.

I have the R2 and actually just had to use them while my Prets were in the shop.

As far as driving on dry pavement goes, the R2s are great--very quiet, good economy (I lost maybe 1mpg?). Main drawback is that they are very soft and race mode with R2s feels like comfort mode with stock all-seasons.

Replaced the leaky fuel pressure regulator with a new original Bosch FPR and the car runs fine again. Solved two issues, one is the rough idle and stalling.

I put in the Bosch 0280160235 and it worked fine or at least I haven't noticed any issues. Fit was perfect. The new FPR solved the idle and stalling problem

Im stage 2+ running a .028 if i run any larger of a gap I get these weird misfires under wide open throttle. Kinda feels like the clutch slipping but its not.

Can go wrong with Nokians, in my opinion. I've had several sets on Saabs, my JSW, Touareg, and currently run studded Hakkepellitas on the wife's fwd GSW 5 speed. I ran General artic studdless on my GSW 4 motion 6 speed last winter and was pleased with the performance of those as well.

I can add that I have Continental (Dealer supplied) 195 -65 - 15 on steelies on my 16 GSW. Using the electronic systems in the car, with 4 tall and narrow, winter tires, gives confident snow traction. Fuel mileage is not adversely affected and the noise level has not increased.

I went through a few sets of DW's on my mk4. I finally caved and bought PSS's and will never go back. The wet performance was unreal on the DW's, but they left a lot to be desired in the dry after having some time with PSS's.

I'm Stage 2+ with r8 coil packs and ngk BKR7EIX and still get misfires. I'm not happy about it and I'm not sure what to do.
