Mobil Engine oil

  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 4.5

Since then, I've changed my oil to a low SAPS VW 504 Mobil 1 5w30 ESP X3 which according to lubrizol has superior resistance to deposit and sludge formation. At this point, I've got consumption down to around 1qt/1400 mi which is a great improvement from where it was before. Hoping for further improvements with time but pleased with progress.

Pros: superior resistance to deposit, sludge formation, improved oil consumption

I went with the FCP euro replacement kit, the zimmerman rotors have been fine (another 35k on them), the texar pads work fine, but dust more than OEM

Pros: rotors have been fine
Cons: pads dust more

Mann Oil filter

I used that exact oil with a Mann filter on my 2013 Jetta SE for every oil change. Just sold it a couple months ago with 178k miles on it with 0 serious problems the 10 years I owned it

Pros: zero problems, long life
Mileage: 178000 km

OEM Volkswagen Jack
Simplestatic
  • Ease of lift:
Rating 4.0

Had one that came with my 84 VW Jetta. Easiest jack to use to change a tire. Can be dangerous if not used correctly though. But that's the same with all jacks.

Pros: easiest to use
Cons: can be dangerous
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.5

I’ve owned both AS4 and DWS 06 and would recommend the DWS 06 for your use case. better wear characteristics and more grand touring / balanced street comfort vs performance compared to AS4. AS4 is a fantastic tire - but I would only run it on a performance car like GTI, R. It was overkill on my Alltrack. I liked the ride on my GTI with AS3+ a lot though. I’ve ran the DWS06 on my gf’s JSW TDI for 3 years 30K miles now and they look new, barely any wear. I also live in Philly and the DWS are super forgiving in 235/45/17. Much more than the AS4’s I had in 235/40/18 on the Alltrack.

Pros: better wear, street comfort, forgiving ride
Mileage: 48280 km

Continental ExtremeContactSport DWS 06 Plus I just put a new set of the above (225/40/18) on my Winter wheels which are VW OEM Sevilla. They came on the 35th AE Jetta GLI. I had the DWS 06 and 06Plus on my MK5 and MK7 GTI - love them for an A/S tire. They are quiet, ride nice, superb wet grip, excellent dry grip, pretty good in Midwest snow.

Pros: quiet, superb wet grip

About a day ago my starter completely went out on me... and just today I got finished putting an ABA starter into play. Absolutely love how much better it sounds and it has no problems getting things turning.

Pros: better sound, easy turning

Hankook Tires

I would pick the Ecopias, they are reviewed much higher than the Kinergy tires on tire rack (but far from the best). I got the Kinergys on mine and they are ok, but if it rains they are not the best and slip easily.

Pros: reviewed higher on tire rack
Cons: slip easily when raining
