Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

The alternator was dead (as expected), and was replaced with a used one that I sourced locally from junkyard.

Liqui Moly Diesel Purge that I always pour in after a fuel filter replacement.

I run the "Vredestein Wintrac Pro" on msw 18's on my mk8 golf r and they rip in all conditions, I ran them all last winter and showed little wear, although I did avoid hot days.

Brisks are great plugs. Do be warned however, their groundstraps are softer than others and open gap much sooner vs other plugs. So you'll be checking them much more often and changing them sooner than the usual 10-15k tuned interval.

I went to Brisk ER12S a few weeks after going 1+ tune which are one heat range colder, same fitment as MK7.

Walmart carries jugs of Castrol Edge SPT 0w40 A3/B4 for much less than quarts at AutoZone

Run it in my R, wife's GTI, and even ran it in a WRX I used to have. It's good oil, the analyses I've sent in over the years don't lie!

I just got the Continental DWS06 Plus in 235/40R18 for my stock MK7 and I've been happy with them.

Generally the OEM plastic water pump only lasts as long as the timing belt interval. I wouldn't rule it out since the overflow water you might be seeing could just be water which is expanding or boiling as you increase the engine speed.

I was sitting at an In-n-Out drive-in when the low coolant warning dinged. Drove it the 2 mi home while keeping an eye on temps and popped the hood. The overflow tank was 75% empty and there was an apparent leak. By the end of the hour, it was completely dry. Got it towed to the local dealership and it took a day to diagnose and another day to get my car back. I'm grateful it didn't blow during my little road trip.
