OEM Volkswagen Thermostat
CuRide
  • Overheating:
Rating 4.5

I replaced mine with a low temp thermostat and low temp fan sensor aswell as the infamous blue coolant temp sensor a week ago and everything ran so much cooler and smoother now. My coolant temp sensor failed for weeks and wouldn't run the low speed fan and the water temp was 30-40 degree hotter than usual. Now it's all good with AC blasting in bumper to bumper traffic for 1 hour and it water temp reads 205-215, but my oil are in the 240's.

Pros: cooler, smoother running
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

OEM Volkswagen Brake discs

I upgraded from solid rotors in my '80 rabbit to vented from a scirroco and the braking is fantastic! I seems that I don't have to press the pedal as far and the brakes stop me like a champ. I too have stomped down a bit with my vented rotors and boy do I stop quick now!

Pros: braking is fantastic
Vehicle: Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Brake discs

The best and most economical upgrade is using the 9.4 inch vented rotors from the '83 & '84 GTI's. With new 9.4 inch vented rotors and the right performance pads, you will have much better braking capacity without having to swap master cylinders and proportional rear valves.

Pros: better braking capacity

OEM Volkswagen Oil filter

I have been running the larger filter for about 10,000 miles now- haven't had a bypass valve issue. I am using the same filter as a an audi/VW V6 30 valve engine. I do not know if that is the same as the diesel one though But- 62,000 miles so far, no valve lifter noise yet!

Pros: no bypass valve issue, no valve lifter noise
Mileage: 16093 km

OEM Volkswagen Brake pads

I could give you the part number but you need the caliper tool to wind the piston back . Part number is 1H0698451F . I know its Golf 3 part number but I prefer these to the Golf 4 units . Also just re-use the bolts the strength is overdone for its purpose . I also prefer golf 3 pollen filters as oppossed to Golf 4 ones

Pros: prefers Golf 3 units
Part number: 1H0698451F
