Volkswagen Passat parts reviews

The stock pads on my 3.6 4-motion were made by Pagid and were very sensitive and dusty. I changed out the fronts only to Akebono Euro Ceramics and I like the feel much better. Plus, they don't dust at all.

I am using the Ravenol for last 3 changes, oil consumption at 5K change intervals is less than 1/2 quart (about 1/4 qt on last change) and hoping this may lead to less carbon build up.

I'm using Mobil 0w40 (502 spec) in my B5 Passat for 140K and plan to use the same oil for my GLI when the free maintenance ends.

I enjoy the Magnaflow on my B4. I have not liked any version of a flowmaster on anything yet but on some 5.0 mustangs. Bleh.

That video is without the two small resonators directly after the cats and the large single muffler. I kept the last two resonators on with no effect on economy.

Original owner of a 2005 Reflex Silver 5MT 4Motion GLS wagon. Currently with 108,xxx miles. It has all options available for that year plus now with several mods incl: Votex ground effects kit and W8 rear bumper (painted to match) H&R lowering springs and Koni shocks Revo ECM flash (pushing about 21 psi boost)

Pentosin is a good, correct brand. CHF 11S is mineral based CHF 202 is synthetic. They are compatible with each other. You can use either one.

I currently have a set of Rain X blades on mine from Walmart, they were a PITA to install, but once installed they've been decent, they're starting to streak already, which is disappointing.

Yep. The codes don't lie, the coil pack is bad. I swapped it into my wifes 04' and the CEL/ misfire was right there with it. The guy bought it somewhere local but doesn't have the receipt/ record, so he's out $175.

All the recommended denso plugs have the wrong gap. They list 1.1mm gap for the 2.0t The recommended gap should be .7 to .8 mm Plus the "20" heat range misfired a lot in the cold for me (about 20 deg F)
