Volkswagen Jetta parts reviews

have used them with excellent results 90k on my 2003 jetta 1.8T only castrol 5W-40 syntec and mobile 1 filters. my engine is as clean as new on the inside. they filter down to 5 micron or so. also if you look inside of the mobile 1 filter it will have a valve or check ball like the factory uses.

Mine's had Mobile 1 since day 1. Up until 45K-ish it was 5w- or 10w-40(?) Anyway, I switched to 0w-40 and I know my milage is a tad better and I swear the seat of my pants tells me the engine has more... spunk.

The most economical upgrade for street use is just beefy pads. Try Ferodo DS2500 on the front axle with your OEM 11.3" rotors combined with Hawk HPS on the rears.

After speaking with the nice gentleman at Discount Tire, I opted for a Dunlop Direzza DZ101 in 205/50/R15. Wow. The Dunlops offer an impressive amount of grip. Thus far, just in irresponsible city driving, I have not been able to get the tires to lose their traction. In first gear cornering, punch the gas at almost full lock will not produce any tires spin. In long fast(er) cornering, there is not wallowing or any wiggling. In corners that I am familiar with, I am able to take them at much higher speeds, but feel much more in control and almost feel as though the car is going slower because it is very much more predictable. Overall, I am satisfied with the tires. For $70 a piece in my size, I believe they are the best money I've ever spent on a car. My on complaint is that they sit a little strange on my wheels because they have an extra edge to protect your rims from curbage. But oh well. They're fast, smooth, and even quiet.

Personally I use 8-10k change intervals on my Jetta, its rated for that, and i use the right oil.

For real, on my 2.0T I run NGK 7E's, 2 steps colder gapped .031\"

I'm running bosch platinum single pronges with no problem..

im running reg bosch silvers (of course the right heat range) on my supercharged setup and they run perfectttt, no misfires or anything, i love bosch plugs

My wife had gone to the dealer because she felt she had no brakes. In addition to the brake job, they also replaced all 4 shocks and 2 front top plates and right and left front ball joints.

Platinum +4s are the worst plugs you can use. They have a bad habit of losing tips into the cylinders. I don't think I need to explain the results of that.
