I never had an Audi but I have a 2009 VW Jetta that's still running, it's my grocery getter. The breaks have lasted since 2012 as insane as that is, there's still a 3/4th of carbon on the pads. I changed the oil all the time, grew up with a car dad. But if VW's are anything like Audi's just maintain it and it'll run for the next decade.
I have a Y2014 2.5L JSW. I went to the BOSCH (a lot cheaper) route and 10K miles later, no problems.
So I ended up going with the 185/65r14 Hankooks (891 revs/mile) ... Balancing is actually pretty good for a manual bubble-level. Smooth up to ~85mph and then a tiny vibration starts and gets a little worse around 95. That's fine.. I stay under 80mph 99.999% of the time anyway. And speedo is dead-accurate, now, too, for the first time in my 19 years of ownership.
Yeh I went for the TopTec 1800! Thank you!
Since all of this began happening I changed the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor around the same time. After changing the cam it still had a no start once but after changing the crank position sensor it's been flawless. Leading me to believe the crank sensor was the issue.
I only use liqui moly toptec 4200 in my 12 Jetta tdi
When I checked my belt at 60k miles I found it was very loose. Loose enough that I checked the camshaft timing to be sure it hadn't jumped at all. The engine ran a lot better after I adjusted the belt tension.
I wind up usually coming back to K&N as I have ran them in about 5 different vehicles over the years including in Corvettes and 8cyl. trucks. I prefer them unoiled after cleaning that way you minimize fouling the maf sensor. As far as performance gains in my 1.4l base Jetta- throttle response is a bit improved but I don’t know if there is a gain in hp (6spd manual as well).
They put on new oem Sachs shocks, which are too soft.
The only thing wrong with them are they are too soft, organic pads. Switch to a metallic pad.
