Volkswagen Jetta parts reviews

Bilstein Shocks with Eibach springs and Ground Control Sleeves

I had a Valeo alternator from an 03 Jetta in my garage, so I slapped that in and made the connector work somehow. Its working perfect now. 14.5v almost instantly at startup. Weather is below 30F.

I would try replacing it with a stock Bosch alternator.

So far (300 miles) I have noticed the following; 1. Bridgestone tires seem to have more wet grip than the Kuhmo's

Two of these "kits" gets you both highs and both lows. I run them on two mk1's with 90/100w low beams and 100w high beams. Perfect night vision.

Obviously wish falken was still making 512's but overall very happy so far.

I'm running Corrado G60 11.0" front calipers and carriers, and MKIV alloy rear calipers on my 97 Jetta GT with Meyle plated rotors. The rotors are about four years old, and still look almost new. A few small rust dots are showing, but not the massive rust that you see on most two and older rotors, and virtually no wear of the friction surfaces.

Regarding our 1997 Jetta GLS that we've had since it was brand-new, I was topping off the original G11 with G12+ since about 2000, without any problems. A few years ago we had the radiator replaced, and the coolant was all changed out to G12 -- that is, the current G12.

I've sold a ton of Nexen tires and used them on all my loaner cars. I never buy the N5000's though. I stick to the Classe Premier line so CP641 and CP672 tires. I use them on my mother in law's Jetta and I have the Nexen Rodian HP on my Wife's MB R350. Decent tires. Not the best but for the price, they work very well.

Don't go with Autolite XP iridium. I had on my Jetta and one of the tips basically melted after 25k. They suck.
