Liquimoly 4210 0w-30 or pennzoil platinum euro lx 0w-30 are the two best imo. I have heard from some other mk8 owners that Pennzoil drops engine temps by 8-20 degrees F so thats what goes in mine.
I'm at 4 sets of XL rated Conti DWS06+ now between 2 sets on my former '13 Golf R & the sets currently on my '20 S3 & '17 Alltrack & I've loved them for year round true all season use. Never used them on a 2WD vehicle but absolutely zero complaints on my Haldex equipped rides I've had them on in dry/wet/snow/ice/slush, hot/temperate/cold.
I’ve got a pair on my mk6 tsi Just to answer you questions a bit quick:
1. Definitely, but you might need to swap the bulbs to LED as the ones I ordered came without. It gives a much better light than the original headlights.
I swapped in Bilstein B8 shocks, now it looks great and the ride is great too.
Update: Water pump replaced on Friday and new pump is quiet like the original so problem seems to be solved. Only conclusion is the 1st replacement must have been a factory defect and even though it was working, the noise definitely didnt give me long term confidence.
I’m running them on stage 3 with no issues APR Z1003100 APR Iridium Pro Spark Plugs - 14x26.5x16mm - Heat Range 9
I've had APR coils for over 50k now. No issues at all. Done 3 track days on the coils, and 2 on both the coils and plugs. Been stage 2 for over 30k now.
I had the ECP light issue in late June on my 2018 R with around 21k miles. The dealer diagnosed it as the wastegate, requiring a turbocharger replacement.
Just changed mine on 2019 Golf MK7.5 and used Bosch supposedly OEM. There were a bunch of adapters so I sincerely doubt OEM. Wasn't intuitive at all. Instructions were not instructive. Best I found were the Rain-X. IMO, the Bosch wear out way too quickly and are unnecessarily expensive.
The factory Bridgestone Ecopia tires were trash. They were useless in any wet conditions at 30k miles. It’s rocking some Generals now.
