Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

I strongly recommend you also consider changing the shocks/struts out for Koni Special Actives. They are better than OE in every single way - performance and comfort.

In my opinion the named brandes like continental, Michelin, good year are good but over priced. I Mostly run SAVA, dont know if you know the brand but they are Quite good for the price. I run them on Volkswagen golf 4 (195/16/55) and on Volkswagen passat (225/17/xx)

For what its worth, I had the Helix headlights on my 2017 GSW and yes, I had to set those up with HID ballasts and HID bulbs. I was able to tuck the ballast inside the back of the headlight and put the bulb access door/cover back on for a pretty clean install.

I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.

I stopped using continentals when my last set of DWS sounded like a freight train down the road in my golf. I switched to Michelin crossclimate 2s and they have been a great all weather and quiet tire.

Personally, I babied it up until 500 miles, light throttle and shifts below 4k always. Used manual a lot to alter the revs a bit. Slowly increased max shift RPM up until about 750 miles, then I started giving it some more aggressive 3/4 throttle pulls occasionally up to 5k or 5.5k. Launch control at 1000 my miles on the dot and drive it like I stole it since. She's at just under 5k miles and driving great!

When I needed a new battery for my Golf mk6, they were the cheapest and I had peace of mind because I was given the OEM approved brand.

i had my brake pads and rotors replaced all round a month or two ago. mechanics quoted me $1000 but had it done by a family friend for around $700.

Found coolant coming through the pins on a brand new Febi sensor today after a drive...

So I sent it on a nice Bosch one. That lasted 3 months and just failed today.
