Reingesteckt Bilstein Fahrwerk, Alus, Michelin Sommer und Conti Winter. 9 Jahre gefahren, ca. 60tkm. Defekte/erneuert: 2x Fensterheber, 1x L\u00fcftermotor, 1x Wischergest\u00e4nge, 1x Motorlager, 1x alle Softlackteile after market. Ansonsten nur Inspektionen.
Done 2 oil changes so far and car has not used a drop of oil and I drive it pretty hard.
I’ve used Castrol and Castrol High Mileage on my Mk6. At just over 143K miles, I’ve had no engine issues at all.
Castrol euro has been good to me for the last 120k miles.
I just had this problem with my daily R, it has 141,000 miles and the battery light came on. The alternator really isn't that hard to remove so I just took it off. My issue was the brushes in the regulator were worn out. I bought some new brushes; I bought 2 sets for $11. Fairly easy job, just google Valeo alternator voltage regulator brush replacement and you get a few DIY videos. BTW my slip rings looked almost new, no grooves at all.
I just mounted these on my wife’s Alltrack… not the most “performance” forward but quiet, safe, and plenty of grip..
The previous owner had a brand new set of front and rear pads and rotors that came with the car when I bought it. Raybestos brand, assuming he bought them off Rockauto. Anyways, front went together no problem but the rear calipers needed pressed in to fit new the pads.
I had a Red Top Optima battery, but it’s so dead that even my NOCO AGM charger won’t recognize or charge it.
Those coil packs are junk.
My GTI’s water pump shat itself around 60k kilometres too :( going strong since but it’s a very common fault unfortunately
