Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

Just put a set of DWS06's on my Golf R. They are good and comfy and have "enough" grip but definitely not as grippy as the summer tires they replaced.

I normally use Nokian Hakkapeliittas on my Golf and while they still have more than enough legal tread, I don't believe they're optimum for hardpacked snow. Unfortunately, there's a waitlist for new Nokians, so I'm going with Continental Wintercontacts, which have a sterling rating.

10,000 mile intervals

2015 mk7 with 115k miles stage 1 EQT. oil analysis always comes back very positive at these intervals.

I ran the MK6 Bilstein B8 set with Eibach Sportline springs on my MKV and loved the setup. Worked great on street and even did quite well on track. I am an older guy (less tolerant of a rough ride) and they were great.

I've had my mk6 for 5 years and driven it 50,000 miles (total 130,000) on the same water pump.

I had a similar issue with my Mk4 VR6 Golf, coolant level would drop a tiny bit over time with no obvious sign of leakage..turned out to be a very small leak at the bottom corner seam of the radiator.

Thanks for all of the replies everybody big help love the community I was able to source the parts I needed today timing belt,water pump, tensioner, and pink antifreeze there was green in my car so I flushed it out before I started to do the timing job, which btw took me 7 hours mannnn I’ve never done one of these before and looking at the DIY and YouTube helped a lot but it’s all done and can make it to work tomorrow. If I was off would have started this tomorrow morning I had no choice but to start today at 2:30. Took her for a drive sound was gone car feels great. Again thank you all!

I have Hakka R2's on my Golf R and they are spectacular. Zero complaints, other than the price. To me they are the Pilot Sport 4S of the winter tire market: if you have unlimited budget you just buy them.

The Stage 1 Garrett doesn’t provide enough of a bump from an OEM is38 with a lifetime warranty to justify the expense.

Hate to be a neighsayer, but I've haven't been really impressed with the Nokian Hakkas. For all the praise they get on the forums, I was pretty disappointed with how they performed. I live in Central NY so we get tons of snow, so I got to test them out in a variety of conditions and they never really seemed to have traction. I had a set of 195 wide studless tires on my Golf. Upgraded to a GTI and the previous owner threw in a set of 225 studded Hakkas with the car. So I've tried these studded and studless, and have tried narrow and wide tires. I'm looking to try some Blizzaks this year if I can get my hands on them. A family member had them on their FWD Audi and the traction on them seemed really impressive; we were driving on a road that was completely covered in snow and he was swerving left and right and the car rode like it was on rails.
