I have only used Lubromoly/Liquimoly 5w-30 Full synthetic with the Mos2 Additive. Molydenum sulfide from liquimoly and my car runs super quiet and idle very smooth. I change my oil every 2500 miles..no matter what. Oil pressure is very good, zero shavings in the oil between oil changes. Additionally, I use the liquimoly engine clean between changes and like I mentioned before the car runs superb...no complaints here.

The Bosch Icon are cool. I happened to notice a buy one get 50% another sale at AutoZone. I snatched a pair for the R and a pair for the GTI.
I always just buy a pair of the OEM Bosch blades from either Amazon or Ebay. Whichever is less $$. I think I typically get the front blade set for between $25-30, sometimes with shipping.
I wanted a cool looking and well working tire. Read several reviews and decided to go a mid-way in price/performance depending on weather conditions in Latvia in summer, so today I got a new set of Toyo Proxes T1R for the summer season
After getting severe slip at S1+, I opted for the Sachs kit (DMF retained) at 12,000 miles, and got a full TBE to go 2+ shortly after (93 oct). I'm just about to hit 35000 miles and have put 23,000 miles on the clutch with no issues.
I've been running this on my stage 2+ R, for the past ~6K miles. No issues so far, especially in this colder weather. My clutch was slipping in the cold this time last year, and so far this Sachs clutch kit is holding up great.
I did the Brembo 18Z(Touareg/Cayenne/Q7 calipers) on mine. It wound up being relatively cheap, less than $1000, but I used normal powerslot slotted rotors not 2 piece fancy rotors. They were relatively cheap and look awesome. Wheel clearance is a MAJOR issue, finding wheels to clear with anywhere near stock offset is very hard. They do NOT have bias issues that some people complain about when putting them on other MKV and MKVI cars, I would say my car brakes in a very balanced way.
I just have to say it's odd having suspension again. I didn't realize just how gone my suspension really was. I was so used to a stiff ride that now I feel like I'm floating around on a hovercraft. Strange.
Every wet rain or slushy day, my 97 2.0 would quit or not start at all. Sprayed everything individually and figured it was the ignition coil cause it had hairline fractures. I replaced my ignition coil, but it still gave me troubles.
Though Mk3 turns/fogs tend to break often and fall out. My ex gf had a Mk3 and we had to replace the lights a few times. Its a pretty crappy design.
