Especially since upgrading to ADB (adaptive driving beam) headlights. Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) in VW speak. Best mod ever. If you drive at night, this is a game changer for night vision, spotting deer etc.
Now I have a 19 R DSG, and I've tracked it twice (Summit Point and VIR) with nothing more than new rotors, Ferodo brake pads and Motul 500 fluid. I never had any overheating issues with either the brakes or the oil, but both weekends were cooler weather.
I ended up grabbing a set of rainx blades and they have been good for almost 8 months now and the majority of it. Was in snowy wet weather.
I've been running the OEM Bosch ones and I have been using the same set for almost a year and a half. Also garage kept and some time periods where no driving was done but they're still going strong. Maybe the rear is a bit worn at worse
i'm using the liqui moly 5w40 oil in my R, as well as previous owner has also used this oil. I absolulely love it. i also used to use in my 11 GTI previously as before using this oil i used to use the mobil 1 0w40 in the gti, but since i've switched to the liqui moly the engine used to run so much smoother.
I went with LUK clutch kit part # 022141015T.
I purchased Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 225/40 R18 92Y XL BSW through Discount Tire for my '16 GSW TSI SEL w/DAP & DA. They are a decent tire and aren't as loud on the highway as my previous tires.
Up for sale are new Ferodo DS2500 brake pads for an MK7 Golf R. I had bought these to replace my noisy new Hawk pads, but have decided to just stick with the noisy hawk pads.
The EXACT same on my trend line 2018 Golf. Just a further note. When we brought it in so they could look at the brakes due to our complaint, there was black ‘goop’ all over the rest of the rear suspension of the golf. The service manage could only theorize that the brake pads ‘melted’ and basically sprayed the wheel well... on BOTH rear wheels.
