I was one of the first to install them like 2-3 years ago, and am pretty happy with them :)

I'm using a MK2 Golf alternator. It has the correct mount width, and has the right frame to mate up with the nice rack and pinion style adjustment bracket also from the MK2 Golf.
Well I test drove the car and put about 70 miles on it, everything is in good working order no leaks no issues runs like new
mine is - 357 959 455F 250/80W AEG with low profile difuser. And I believe it is a way better than 1Fan cooling on factory Golf Mk2s.
I have Eibach springs with Koni Sport struts. The ride is great and handling is really improved as well.
Using Rotella T6 synthetic 5W40 rated for turbo diesel. Lots of VW mkiv owners use it. Cheap from Walmart. Have been using Liqui Moly 5W40 as well but supplier is all out.
I personally have been a Bilstien H&R fan since my first mk4 Frankingolf where I tore down and rebuilt a 4 door golf into a 4 door gti. Have stuck with that combo ever since and that is the ONLY thing that has always worked according to plan.
I had a good experience with Sumitomo htr a/s p02.
I've struggled with this on my mkv gti and with my mk7 golf r, shops rarely seem to take care to get the steering wheel centered when they align it.
I just upgraded mine a few weeks ago, ended up getting a DEKA AGM 9AGM47 More CCA and far more reserve capacity than the stock battery (120 mins) I was at ~35k miles and my OEM battery was failing fast.. I couldn't leave it in the accessory position without the engine running for more than a minute or two or it would barely be able to crank. The OEM battery is crap as far as I'm concerned
