i use to have vr6/G60 setup on my TDI running almost 500tq daily and it held for over 100k before starting to slip... and replacement disk were cheap..
Just to let everyone know, it did indeed turn out to be a defective O-Ring on the Graf water pump I installed a couple of months ago.
about 35 mpg freeway & about 27 city/freeway daily driver '89 Jetta 4 door 1.8L originally (bored .020 over) on digi2 with a K&N air filter I'm running nothing but 91-92 octane chevron/shell gasoline.
I run mobil 1 synthetic 0w40 all year round, with no problems. Best of both worlds
My car now runs smoother, starts quicker, and revs quicker & I have a cool red coil under my hood.
I use Lucas oil in my motor oil for 1990 VW 1.6L Jetta diesel. I started using Lucas Oil because a relative of mine has been driving a large semi for almost 30 years, and he, like many in the trucking industry, swear by Lucas Oil. Judging by the parts per million of metal present in my motor oil, my motor oil with 1 cup of Lucas Oil, was wearing pretty well.
When I changed the original rotors on my Jetta they required a hell of a fight to get them off. I put anti-sieze on the hub to ensure that would not happen again. When I changed them this past weekend, the rotors came off no problem at all which was nice.
I got the same exact set up on my wife's Jetta. Good tires for all season driving, very sticky with awesome handling in the rain/snow and great handling when dry...
The pump looks to be too beat up to keep. Even though I could maybe drimmel the bad spots down, I'm just going to get a fresh pump.
I've found that the NGK plugs that Canadian Tire has sucks....
