FWIW, my post is the top one, I did not go with an OEM battery after reading through other threads where users had issues finding one in stock and instead went with the Optima YellowTop that was recommended on their site. I have had zero issues.
I have them on my Golf Alltrack and like them. I replaced the factory Continental ProContact TX tires. They are quieter then the Conti's. I bought them because I feel they are the perfect tire for the PNW. They are good in the rain, dry, light snow, dirt roads.
Just changed my spark plugs.. went from 031/032 factory NGK1675 gap down to 027/028 gap (based on the feeler leaf gauge). i am here to state beyond shadow of a doubt that 027/028 gap feels way better. The car is smooth.. so smooth in fact that it makes me feel like the CEL is about to come on. In 7 years of ownership, I never felt it as smooth as it feels now. When idling I almost feel as its off.. also at speed!
Bosch provides OE for VW spark plugs. Plug your vehicle into autozone and just buy the bosch ones. They come pregapped.
I’ve run all three brands on my GTI and I drive my car hard Was using Bridgestone RE01 tires on the track last
Stoptech front slotted rotors (upgraded to 340mm) & rear, Street brake pads & stainless steel braided lines
Independent mechanic noticed leak. Dealership confirmed the thermostat was cracked and leaking. Took a week for parts to arrive. Took a day to repair. All covered under warranty.
I had my water pump and thermostat replaced recently and they did remove the intake manifold and replaced the gasket in order to gain access to the water pump assy.
I changed spark plugs to NGK laser platinum plugs with a 0.32 gap. The issue only arouse after I got the tune.
I have the R2 on my Golf R and I have to say I regret them. I wish I got the WRG3 that are on my wife's car. The R2 is better on unplowed roads, but sucks on a groomed road.
