Brembo Brake discs

Skiver koster ca 4-800 pr stk, et s\u00e6t klodser koster ca 3-500 afh\u00e6ngig af kvalitet.\n\nJeg k\u00f8bte brembo skiver og klodser til min polo for under 1800,- leveret og skiftede selv.

Pros: billige Brembo parts

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

If you are using VW original oil then stick to it and the service interval. 15 years 229,000km later mine is going strong. I did mess up by doing service at 15k km all these years. Sticking to 12k is best. Instead try iftex system D. Makes a very noticeable difference. More important I feel is changing the air filter more often. And compulsorily changing diesel filter every year.

Pros: stick to service interval, air filter change often, diesel filter change yearly
Cons: mess up by doing service at 15k km

OEM Volkswagen Timing belt

Mein Polo hatte selbst 12 Jahre Überzug aber es ist weder der Zahnriemen gerissen noch sonst was. War mehr oder weniger auch in der gleichen Situation, nur waren es bei mir 11 Jahre mehr Überzug.

Solange der Zahnriemen nicht im Ölbad läuft und er nicht porös, erste Risse oder Brüche (auf der Innenseite) zeigt würde ich mir da wenig Gedanken machen, sowieso wenn deine Karre mit nächsten Jahr weg soll.

Pros: lange Haltbarkeit, keine Risse

FEBI Brake pads
StanJacko
  • Braking:
Rating 3.0

I had to change the brake pads on couple of cars last week which used the FSIII brake calipers and all of the brake pads were missing the raised edge and they have been flat. In one case the customer wanted cheaper Febi pads so I thought it was just because of cost savings but to my surprise even TRW/ATE (OEM makers) pads have been like this.

Cons: missing raised edge, flat

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil
revonxt
  • Warning light:
Rating 3.5

If changing oil at 15k kms interval has served you well for 2 lakh kilometers, then I'd recommend sticking to it instead of switching to an oil with long service life. 30k kms oil change interval claim is a big stretch. I've used LiquiMoly 5w-40 with my Polo 1.2L TDI. Drove it close to or may be more than 20k kms over the course of 3 years until the check engine light came on. Immediately changed to OEM engine oil and for some reason the check engine light went away. Except with LiquiMoly, I've always changed engine oil at 15k kms or 1 year whichever was earlier. This is what my car's manufacturer recommends and I'll follow it even if I use LiquiMoly again.

Pros: served well for 2 lakh kilometers, OEM engine oil works
Cons: 30k kms oil change interval claim is a big stretch, check engine light came on

Bosch Antifreeze
Spargo1601
  • Temperature stability:
Rating 3.0

Checked out in Amazon for G12EVO coolant and found - Bosch Tropical Coolant | 1:3 Red : Seems ok based on ratings and reviews, but again, 'G12' is not mentioned hence unsure. \[Rs. 268 for just 1L\]

Pros: ok based on ratings
Cons: unsure, G12 not mentioned

OEM Volkswagen Fuel injector
jarski60
  • Idle:
  • Acceleration:
Rating 1.0

At some point VW had a problem with the injectors. They always replaced the faulty one. A short while later the same car was back in the tow truck. The next injector was replaced. A coworker had his car repaired three times for the same problem.

Cons: repeated failures, poor reliability
