Volkswagen Scirocco parts reviews

I have solid BREMBO rotors, girling calipers and I think that you can get slotted rotors in the 'solid' width....just a different kind of venting.

ran this one a bit in my 88 16v scirocco. works fine. a bit biger than the sotch as far as size.

Gates T306rb for 16v aba or abf

For brakes I run Scirocco 10.1 fronts with Mintex red pads, MK3 200mm rear drums- i used to have to be careful when I ran 195/50/15's because of accidental lock, but it's much improved with the 205/50/15's (Toyo R1R's- best tire i've had).

Amsoil 10w40 and there 20w50 non race oil it says right on the bottle it has a heave zinc compound for extreme use. I use the 10w40 in my Rocco 16v my wifes mk1 gti , and a lot of other vehicles. No upper end noises on any of them. Worth it weight in gold!

I use Shell Helix 10W-30 for my Sciroccos. No probs! :thumbup: I always have a 60 litres barrel in my garage for my cars.

That stp additive with casterol high mile age. Still have lifter noise but alot less. Runs smoother and quieter

Shell Rotella T for the win - get it cheap at your local Walmart in gallon jugs. Side note on collapsed lifters - ATF Type F, added to the oil and a 5-10 min idle cycle before you change the oil can really help clean them out for cheap. Note, ATF has a lot of cleaners in it, and is thin, DO NOT rev it...just let it idle. Worked awesome on my old Coupe GT 5 cyl with horrid lifters.

I've used mobil 1 20-50 for the last three oil changes and had really bad ticking noise from the head. This last oil change I used casterol GTX and have had a lot less ticking since. I'm no longer sold on mobil 1 for the rocco.

anyone know if the mahle's are still made in a decent place. no more mann filter on my car, at least not the chinese ones.
