OEM Volkswagen Oil pump
Seax_Smith
  • Engine noise:
Rating 5.0

For a 1.8 8-valve get the oil pump which ends in "D" (93 gas golf) it's a higher volume / pressure pump. the pump will fit the 1.8 engines and the ABA.... the "D" just pushes more oil through the engine which is a very good thing. Better lubrication, better cooling, less lifter niose.

Pros: better lubrication, better cooling
Cons: tiny bit more power
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I had to fit a new alternator since the old one had died on me: I replaced the non-original alternator with a bosch 90A alternator OEM VW/AUDI. It got up to 13.9volts now, the regulator limits it to 14V.

Pros: voltage up to 13.9V
Cons: old one had died

NGK Spark plug
canadianGTI98
  • Acceleration:
Rating 5.0

Last night I finally decided to trash the bosch spark plugs and installed some new NGK spark plugs and while I had my upper intake manifold off I bought a couple cans of throttle body cleaner and gave my upper intake manifold out and also gave my throttle body a real good clean. It was covered in sludge. But anyways after I sea foamed it a couple weeks ago, changed the oil and filter, spark plugs and cleaned the throttle body last night my car is running like a champ and doesn't feel boggy anymore.

Pros: car running like a champ
Cons: covered in sludge
