Also the original equipment Bosch battery that came in my wife's 2006 TDI Golf when we bought it in 2015. The good ones aren't available anymore by the time they wear out.
Took a few trips to the dealer but finally got it sorted under warranty. First they changed the rear end links. Then replaced the front shocks, bearings, mounts, and end links. OEM shocks failed on Boston roads at 25-30k miles. If you are out of warranty, consider replacing with Bilsteins.
I replaced my wipers with Bosch wipers and added Rain X to the windshield and it's significantly reduced the wiper chatter on my golf.
Picked up some Conti Viking 7's from the dealer $1100 with steelies (tax included) for our GSW. The car is a beast with these new tires. So much traction!
If I have to stand on the brakes they certainly STOP better than the OEM brakes. It's a very good improvement in brake feel as well. The car stops straight now instead of wondering a bit side to side.
My yellow top in my mk1 is 8 years old. My yellow ro in my R is 7 months old. They're great.
Also the Hawk 5.0 pads are GREAT.. squeak a bit, but they are a high torque ceramic pad which have great bite. They dust like crazy.
I use 40 until Winter then I switch to 30.
My stock rear brakes never made any noise. Recently replaced rotors and pads - went with Akebono Euro Ceramic - and now have the same "clunk" you describe. Usually only first thing in the morning when I back out of my driveway and then roll forward and brake.
