Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

Lo, and behold, the Golf R front brake calipers and the MkV .:R32 calipers are made by ATE and nearly identical to the ATE calipers on the Volvo V50.

I think we have an Optima in our Mk1 diesel.

clean battery post and wires reconnect them and ensure they aRe tight get the voltage tested for free at these automotive stores. 12v when not running, 14v when car is running.

When I bought my golf, the PO was using crap gas station brand 5w30, the first weekend I had the car I switched to Motul synth 5w40. No leaks and drastically reduced oil consumption compared to what the PO said it was going through and it's been great ever since. I have since switched from Motul 8100 X-cess to Gulf Formula G (still 5w40) and noticed even less oil burning. I drove 4700kms across Canada at a constant 3300-4200 rpm for 4 days, oil level barely went down a drop.

X2 hps had them on my mkv and loved them. Even did a track day with them

overhauled the brakes(all 4 corners): -calipers(rebuild) -discs(brembo) -pads (ferodo ds2500)

i change at the extended interval and use only 100% synthetic oil usually Amsoil. I plan on using the same in my TDI at the normal service interval unless vw makes a full syn diesel oil

There's a difference, but it isn't great, I ran mk1 rear Koni's on my old syncro with a pair of Jetta GTI 16v rear springs, and regular mk2 Koni and 16v golf front springs, and it sat level, and handled great.

Due to restrictions in SCCA Stock class rules, I only run a K&N panel... though dyno time revealed only marginal hp gains (really, its a poor ROI over the stock paper, but the K&N was part of a diagnostics test my team was doing, so it was free).

Fram filters do NOT have an anti drain back valve in them.
