Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

Ecsta LX Platnium...running them on my Golf on 18's, love them! quiet,and handle well

Personally I would not delete the proportioning valve. I run 304x25mm front with AP Racing calipers and stock MKIII rear disks with MKIV calipers. The stock MKIII proportioning valve can be adjusted to the point there is too much rear bias.

Great battery! I'm really happy with mine.

rear beam and tank off and ordered a new one instead of fitting the tank from the black car, its slowly getting there

Brembo's

To change oil for a 2011 VW golf, you do need a special oil filter wrench (14 Points, 74mm),as the new german cars are using a cartridge type oil filter. I got mine from ebay, made of cast aluminium, works like a charm.

For my 2004 VW Golf TDI(125,000 miles) I use Shell Rotella 5w-40 Full Synth.

Hmm, I find my Golf TDI brakes to be excellent. Havent tracked them, but have punished them on occasion with liberal use of power on the highway, even combined with going down hill, and have never experienced fade.

Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "

im glad others have had a positive experience but mine was not so good. Used one once on my old Golf and it came apart inside the housing. Wrote a letter, they said it was an isolated few that were assembled poorly. Got reimbursed and coupon for other K&N products.
