Brembo Brake discs

I went with: Brembo rotors all around 288mm front and 232mm rear Tyrol Sport Front Brake Stiffening kit DFC track pads(similar to Hawk HP) I still need to do SS lines and a fluid change, but my car stops very well for street driving. I will be swapping my pads for Hawk Performance Ceramic's though only due to brake dust.

Pros: car stops very well
Cons: brake dust

Prestone Antifreeze

  • Temperature stability:
Rating 5.0

After that, you can run generally whatever universal coolant you'd like. I do a universal Prestone and have no cooling problems. I live at the beach and drive my stage 2 Jetta 2.5L pretty hard.

Pros: no cooling problems

Rating 4.0

Starters don\u2019t generally \u201cslow down\u201d with age, really. You\u2019ll just find that one day it quits working. I had a failed starter on a 2002 Jetta, probably at around 290-300k miles

Pros: quits working suddenly
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 482803 km

OEM Volkswagen Timing belt

Located in AZ. I called multiple places and the average was around $1,500 for both water pump and timing belt (dealership was over $3,000 which is insane).

I got lucky as one shop was doing a special for timing belt changes and I got both serviced for $950.

Pros: serviced for $950
Cons: dealership was over $3,000

Pros: sign of possible trouble
Cons: broken timing chain

OEM Volkswagen Ignition switch

  • Electrical:
Rating 2.0

This happened to my 2019 vw jetta recently so i got the ignition switch replaced because it displayed check starter system after I let it sit in direct heat for a few hours. Everything was fine for a few weeks until the other day I was getting a haircut and let the car sit in the heat for only 2 hours in 105 degree weather and when I got in the car I turned it on (it turned on fine) then after about a minute all the electric in the car shut of such as a/c, radio, headlights etc and it displayed check starter system again but the car still let me drive home. Anyone know what can be the issue?

Pros: car still drivable
Cons: electric shut off
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
