Nexen Tires

Rating 4.0

I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.

Pros: no oil consumption, decent wear
Mileage: 30000 km

OEM Volkswagen Wheel hub

Rating 4.0

I had errors on both front ABS sensors, so I replaced the sensors. That didn't fix the problem. After I did some research online many issues seemed to be tied to the throttle body, which I replaced. Nope, didn't help. I replaced the left front hub which is a pain... I finally got the old hub off and the new one installed. I still got an ABS error but this was the right front. So I replaced that hub. The ABS error went away...

Pros: ABS error went away
Cons: hub replacement is a pain
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

my wife had a 2014 Jetta Trendline+ with the 2.0 8v and 6-speed Jatco automatic. It was really good and solid. Held up very well to corrosion and never left us stranded.

Pros: good and solid, held up well

OEM Volkswagen Windshield

  • Chips/cracks:
Rating 3.0

Yes. My wife and I purposely drive far behind other vehicles to avoid rock chips AND STILL we have a few chips on the windshield at 7000 miles. Frustrating but that's just how it is now.

Pros: avoid rock chips
Cons: few chips on windshield
Mileage: 7000 km

NGK Spark plug

  • Acceleration:
Rating 2.0

Just replaced the OEM ones with the NGK PLFER7A8EG 94833 as part of my 40k service on the car. Pretty straightforward like usual except the hard part is maneuvering the coil pack connectors that rest again the intake pipe because of the plastic covering that thing was such a pita. But now the car feels like heavy, like when you put on some heavy wheels on and you can tell the difference right away. I've been having to be so light in the gas pedal because it would fly. Now it feels like I really have to push the pedal a lil harder then usual to pick up speed but it just feels heavy kind of (not sure it's the best description) but it's it not hesitating at all.

Pros: straightforward installation
Cons: car feels heavy
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: PLFER7A8EG 94833
