Kumho Tires

I have some decent Kumhos on mine (used to have Gislaved Nordfrost 5 on my MKIV, but they wore very quickly) and my Golf is perfectly fine in the snow.

Pros: perfectly fine in snow
Cons: wore very quickly

OEM Volkswagen Battery
CC-Rider
  • Cranking:
Rating 4.0

Since replacing my battery on 12/18 this code has not returned. The only symptom I've noticed is it appears my battery is going. When I start it in the morning it struggles and then is ok the rest of the day. However just leaving the radio on, without the car being on, for 20 mins or so will drain the battery and the car will barely turn over.

Pros: resolved code issue
Cons: battery drained quickly
Mileage: 78960 km

Sachs Clutch kit
DViggen
  • Slip:
  • Engagement smoothness:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.0

I have been experiencing the usual clutch slippage that many of the Golf R's with Stage 2+ have been experiencing....and after much debate and searching I decided to go with a Sachs SRE Performance Clutch kit. Today was the install...and the single mass flywheel kit (883089.000034 - http://www.sachsperformance.com/Sac...I-169-kW-;-BYD-;-09/2006/SRE-Performance-Clutch-Kit-One-Mass-Flywheel::155.html ) bolted right up with no issues. The clutch is stiffer then stock....it's hard to put a % on it...but it's stiffer then stock. It's not too stiff though - I've had two knee surgeries on my left knee and I didn't have any issues with it driving around. I haven't heard any of the \"clatter\" that has been associated with the single mass flywheel. I do have a slight groan when accelerating heavily at low rpms.....and it is a little louder then stock when I let off the gas and coast...but nothing that is going to bother me. The clutch release is a little higher then stock. The new setup is more \"spot on\" when being engaged....and you can really feel it grab. Overall I don't think my wife will notice the change....and I am happy with the results.

Pros: more spot on, feels grab
Cons: clutch is stiffer, slight groan
Part number: 883089.000034
