NGK Spark plug

  • Acceleration:
Rating 5.0

I would strongly recommend using NGK PZFR5J-11 spark plugs. These NGK Laser Platinum plugs are the best option for your 2.5l. Not only are they pre-gapped and ready for installation, but they'll perform great and provide dependable service for several years.

Pros: best option, pre-gapped, great performance, dependable service
Part number: PZFR5J-11

EBC Brake pads
GLiMKIV
  • Braking:
  • Dust:
Rating 5.0

I got the EBC Red brake pads installed front and rear. I ever so slightly cleaned the wheels the same day they were installed. So far so good. I haven't noticed any large amounts of brake dust. Stopping is great. Brake pedal is more touchy now. Overall I'm very happy with them!

Pros: stopping is great, brake pedal touchy
Cons: brake dust

VALEO Headlights
AdamSheikh
  • Brightness:
Rating 4.5

Initial impressions are great. The color temperature is clearly whiter and brighter. Even just looking at the projectors with the lights on yields a much cleaner look. Output on the road is definitely whiter than the OEM's, but still admittedly a bit "warmer" than what I expected - but the bulbs are still burning in.

Pros: whiter and brighter, cleaner look
Cons: bit warmer

MICHELIN Tires

  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 5.0

Also, to answer your question regarding the Michelin PSS - I made the switch from the stock all seasons over a year and a half ago...They absolutely transform the car. The stiffer sidewall increases steering feel and responsiveness, and the softer compound not only rides better but also grips like hell in the corners. Wet traction and confidence also increased significantly.

Pros: increased wet traction, better steering feel
Mileage: 23000 km

Rating 5.0

+1 on PSS. Best all around tire with a perfect blend of dry and wet grip, turn in response, longevity, road noise, etc. I'm going to be grabbing my second set in a few days after getting 22,000 miles on my first.

Pros: perfect blend of grip
Mileage: 35400 km

Pilkington Windshield

  • Chips/cracks:
Rating 5.0

I had Safelite do replacements on my car as well as my husband's car. Of course the insurance wouldn't cover OEM (had eSurance at the time) but I heard that the aftermarket glass that Safelite uses on these cars (Pilkington I think but spelling could be wrong) is an OEM supplier for a lot of German brands. It's been a few years now and both cars aren't showing any issues with the replacement glass. We both have '11 Golf TDIs. FWIW, the replacement glass on our cars also had the tint strip along the top and mirror area in the same place as the OEM glass, you really can't tell the difference unless you look at the manufacturer's stamp.

Pros: no issues, indistinguishable from OEM, tint strip matches
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

ME83
  • Grip:
Rating 2.0

I have had a few sets of blizzacks, and while they were great on slick roads, I found they were not good going through a few inches or more of snow and were terribly "mushy".

Pros: great on slick roads
Cons: not good in deep snow
