MICHELIN Tires

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I have these on my Jetta right now and my god I freaking love them! So much better than those crappy Bridgestones EL-400 that came with the car.

Pros: I freaking love them

MEYLE Tie rods

  • Steering play:
Rating 5.0

The Meyle complete tierods fit perfectly, and I still have plenty of thread left on the inner tierods (around 5/16\"-3/8\"\" of thread showing on the inners) for adjustment (longer or shorter) even after installing H&R Sport springs.

Pros: fit perfectly, plenty thread
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

BERU Ignition coil

  • Warning light:
Rating 4.0

I am currently using the cheaper version because I just never put in the 'thought-to-be-bad' pack back in [btw, it was an injector so both packs were perfectly fine]. With that in mind, I cannot say there was any quality increase because it was never my CP to begin with so it was still misfiring even with the $350 BERU. But, what they did both do is act exactly the same when I put them both in. I have not had any problems thus far with the cheaper one, and it feels about the exact same quality as the beru brand.

Pros: same quality as Beru

You can regualr coolant as long as COMPLETELY flush out the system. I ran Prestone in my Jetta with regular flushes for 3 years with no problems...an no pitting of my cyl. head

Pros: no problems, no pitting

OEM Volkswagen Fuel tank
GTIZRX
  • Range between fill-ups:
Rating 4.5

I did this swap to my 1990 Jetta 2-door Digi II CE2 car and my fuel gauge reads correctly. I am using the original 1990 Jetta instrument cluster. It is one of the best mods I have made to my car and recommend it to anyone but I haven't noticed any bigger capacity using the Mk3 tank compared to the Mk2 tank they seem to hold the same amount.

Pros: fuel gauge reads correctly, best mod, recommended
Cons: no bigger capacity
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

MEYLE Strut mount

  • Clunks:
  • Creaks:
  • Steering feel:
Rating 4.0

I replaced everything Reynolds9000 listed and although it was a major improvement, the problem only went away when New strut mounts and bearings went in about 2 weeks later....along with tossing out the stock suspension and installing coils.

Pros: major improvement
Cons: terrible wandering problems
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Everyone swears the stock coils are great for 800hp because force fed did it. I don't care, the coils suck and always have. I always had random misfires here of there even when new, and I could never run the plug gap I run now with push downs or bolt downs on a stock car even without serious hesitation and enough to increment the misfire counter. This 190k mile Jetta did this also and I thought maybe carbon fouled plugs or a dying coil. Now it pulls 20 inches of vacuum with a rock solid needle at idle no bouncing, no hesitation. The car sounds absolutely different at idle, fresh plugs and a .040 gap, no other change but the coils and fersh plugs. It sounds throatier and crisper with the larger gap too.

Pros: throatier sound, crisper sound
Cons: random misfires, hesitation
Mileage: 190000 km

Bosch Wiper blades

  • Wipe quality:
  • Streaks/chatter:
Rating 2.0

mine does it too, and ICONs are NOT crap, they are very good (usually) I think the new ones are crap, however. my dad has an 06 VE Jetta with original wipers and they work better than my new ones.

Pros: usually very good
Cons: new ones are crap, smearing
