LIQUI MOLY Engine oil
thygreyt
  • Engine noise:
Rating 5.0

i can only speak from experience and based on my oil analysis results... Liqui moly is an amazing oil. The motor is fairly quiet, the fuel economy is good, the performance is on point and Friction inside the motor (engine wear) is at a \"very very minimum\" or so the reports say... For all this, i cant help but recommend Liqui Moly!

Pros: motor fairly quiet, good fuel economy
Cons: none

Hankook Tires

I used these tires / steel wheels on my 2008 Jetta for one winter. If you've never used winter tires you need to try it. All wheel drive is nice to get moving but they can't help you turn or stop. Winter tires do everything better - more grip for turning, stopping, and starting. The winter rubber compound and tread gives much better grip in all cold weather conditions - dry, wet, sleet, slush, or snow.

Pros: better grip, cold weather

Castrol Engine oil

I have an 09 Jetta Sportwagen with a APR stage 1 ECU upgrade (since 2000 miles) and have 63,500 miles on the car. I have changed the oil every 10,000 and the oil is only down about 1/4 quart after 10,000 miles. I have done an oil analysis with Blackstone labs every oil change and the report comes back with the oil looks great and to extend the change to 11,000 miles! The report also shows my engine wearing betting than average.

Pros: oil looks great, engine wearing better
Cons: oil down 1/4 quart
Mileage: 63500 km

Pirelli Tires

My 2012 GLI came with Pirelli PZero Nero A/S tires on it. It handles incredibly well, not sure how much of that is GLI and how much is the tires, but definitely no complaints here.

Pros: handles incredibly well, no complaints

PPG Windshield

  • Clarity:
  • Chips/cracks:
Rating 5.0

I went through that a few weeks ago with my jetta, old windshield was pitted and stone chipped so bad I could barely see driving at dusk or dawn. Seal was all shrunken and old letting lots of water in.

Pros: no leaks, no haze
Cons: pitted and stone chipped

BFGoodrich Tires

In the early years (1998-99), it ran simple bolt-ons (intake, exhaust, header, no cat, software, pulleys, ac delete, LSD), but that's about it. The car did struggle on the top end grunt sometimes, but the torque was definitely there coming out of the corners...

Pros: torque was definitely there
Cons: struggled on the top end

Girling Brake caliper
Dutchsider
  • Uneven wear:
Rating 4.0

I had this retrofit on my Jetta and I was a big fan of it. The unsprung weight complaint I find to be a bit much. As stated above, the weight difference isn't exceptional. The gain here is that you have a greater surface area of clamping force with the addition of an extra caliper piston. Overall, the cost/benefit of this setup is great.

Pros: greater clamping force, cost benefit great
Cons: unsprung weight complaint

OEM Volkswagen Battery
JSWTDI09
  • Cranking:
Rating 3.0

Anyway, I bought a new battery and everything was fine for several months. Yesterday my car did not start again. I put a charger on the battery and it started this morning. However, this afternoon it would not start again. I charged it again and went and had the charging system and battery checked out (all good).

Pros: new battery, worked initially
Cons: short lifespan, car won't start
Mileage: 82680 km
