Reviews of Mahle parts For Business

I used to get cheap Mahle oil filters for my K100 on Amazon for $15 or so

I use Mahle filters in both my VR6 and 2.5 from first oil change. No issues.

Mahle. Best pleat design I’ve seen and according to Volvo, their primary reason they selected Mahle over MANN or Hengst.

Engine oil: I use 10w40 in my rebuilt ABA/2H. No issues. I prefer Mahle filters.

The aftermarket Mahle gasket works just fine. The key is to torque it down EXACTLY to factory specs to prevent leaking.

Not true, many VW 4cyls came with forged cranks and pistons, the slugs in my TT are Mahle and known to handle over 400hp easily, the only things you need for a 1.8T to be basically bulletproof are forged rods and a new timing belt kit.

I decided to replace all the rings with a new set from MAHLE (Part #41926CP, $69.79 for a full set from RockAuto.com- much less expensive than buying them in a VW-branded package).

Filter is a Mahle, it's the one from VW Parts Place, so I'm daring to assume it's ok

I’m on my 3rd Mahle for my N54. If I did it again I’d go OEM.

In regards to replacing the thermostat, Id stay away from Mahle/Behr. I just ran through two that stuck open, so far the Borg and Warner from FCP can actually hold temp @ -19C, which the Mahles could not at -10C.
