MICHELIN Tires

I’ve bought both for my Jetta. The X-Ice worked great in our winter conditions. The X-Ice have a 60k tread wear warranty and the Blizzaks have none. The X-Ice are also made at the Michelin Pictou plant so they support Nova Scotian jobs.

Pros: great in winter conditions, 60k tread wear warranty, supports local jobs

Carbotech Brake pads

I ran xp10s on a Jetta with no issues. They got really really hot, but no fade or loss of pressure. It was so hot it melted the tabs that held the plastic center cap on my wheel.

Pros: no issues, worked great, no fade or loss of pressure
Cons: got really hot, melted wheel center cap tabs

Rating 4.5

Using the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the ride has been phenomenal until now. Amazing grip and silent too on high speeds. Just that they're quite expensive compared to other brands. Currently done 30k kms on them. Had a sidewall rupture once which fortunately got covered under warranty.

Pros: amazing grip, silent
Cons: quite expensive
Mileage: 30000 km

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

Varies too widely, my trans am takes conventional oil and inexpensive filter and is an easy job, while a Porsche 911 requires removal of the oil pan and expensive oil, while my emission cheating Jetta only can use $10/qt special oil. Can be from $40-400.

Pros: inexpensive filter
Cons: expensive oil

Mahle Valve cover gasket
MetroShop
  • Visible leaks:
Rating 1.0

I replaced it with a Mahle VS50515, put a very thin layer of oil on it so it doesn't bind, cleaned all the bolts, and torqued them down to 10Nm using the bolt pattern in the earlier post. 2 weeks later, it's starting to seep all around. The gasket doesn't look like it's seated properly, with some places clearly not straight

Cons: seeping all around, not seated properly
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 200000 km
Part number: VS50515
