Volkswagen Jetta parts reviews

I have ATE powerdiscs on front and Zimmerman Xdrilled on rear. They both rust. I haven't had any problems yet with warping on either but I installed them about 2-3 monthes ago. I've heard that the Xdrilled can begin cracking around the holes so I'm watching out for this. So far I'm happy with the setup. I also have the mintex redbox pads. Slightly better than OEM and a whole lot less messy. My rims don't collect much dust anymore.

I waited 9,000 miles to change my oil most recently (with 36,000 total on my VR6 Jetta). The oil is Valvoline 5w-40 synthetic, which I buy from my local NAPA who now stocks it - finally. Bottom line - oil was still in very good condition - still suitable for further use - viscosity still well within 5w-40 perameters @ 14.1. Trace metals ppm were amazingly low for 9,000 miles of use.

I am getting H&R race springs and bilsteins sports put on this weekend. I wanna get my wheels aligned after this.

The thermostat and temp switch are cheap. To clear up a misconception, your vehicle will come to operating temp if you use a 'low temp' unit.

3500 to 4500 on my VR6. always mobil 1 since 20k miles....now with 88k miles.

A good starting point would be Sport Springs (Neuspeed Sport, H&R Sport) with Bilstein or Koni Adjustable shocks. The shocks will be the most expensive, but remember that they'll outlast the originals!

I change every 5,000 with Amsoil in my TDI. I like to change oil and keep tabs on everything under the car, so it's worth it to me.

For highway driving on a vr6, oil should be changed every 5k. City driving is 3k. BTW, go for 5w30 Mobil 1 Tri-synthetic. NICE!

I tried/am trying to fit a set of E36 lights into my jetta. They are a bit wider, and shorter than the stock headlights. You would need a hood spoiler to fill the gap above the headlight, you would need to make a custom spacer to fill the gap between the headlight and the fender, you would have to cut up the headlight, the radiator support, and part of the inside of the fender. I got one light to \"fit\" and it looks pretty dope, but it doesn't fit the contour (sp) of the car, they are more square and flat than the stock lights. Oh and you would have to make the brackets to mount the lights to the car. Quite a PITA for something that looks kind of cool, but doesn't quite fit right...

i had the same problem when i fitted a K&N filter on my 2000 Jetta, I probably overoiled that thing and it clogged my MAF. I didnt notice any gains maybe its just all hype but I will not use a K&N filter on my Passat.
