Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

I currently have Altimax RT-45 tires on my Golf Sportwagen (TDI, 6 speed manual). I used to use all-weather tires like Toyota Celsius, which are great for moderate snow. But winters in New England have gotten so less snowy that the Generals are excellent. Good handling, good in the rain, quiet.

For example my Golf Alltrack needs front brakes, so I bought Golf R front calipers, which are bigger, and then drilled Brembo rotors, and ceramic OEM pads.

I\u2019ve been using Akebono pads on my Mk4 20AE for a while and have been very happy with them. Very low dust. They don\u2019t have the initial bite of a stock pad but I\u2019ve never had an issue with the braking performance. I use them for hpde track days also. Additionally, very easy on rotors.

I used Zimmerman rotors and OEM TRW pads in the back, no dust.

2.5 motors can go 600k on original chains.

I've had Falken FK520 on my MK4 Golf R32 as well as on my BRZ currently. Pretty good price for daily and back roads if you're not immediately taking it to the track or autoX

I've used pentosin E for full flushes of two Golfs (2015 and 2017). No issues. Prior to that, I used it for topping off. It's the right stuf being G13 regardless of slight color variation pink/purple.

Its been a while and I have replaced the tank with a Mk3 tank and intank pump, got to throw out the warning again this does make a fair bit of noise so be prepared.

I have the SRE with metallic disk in my 2010. It sucks for DD

Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.
