Reviews of OEM Volkswagen parts For Business

fellas, don't forget that there is a new bigger 1.8T filter issued by VW. I got one for my 2.0 and this thing is huge. I assume it will filter the same but it will flow better as the filtering components are much bigger. Also the new filters will retain more oil in the system which is a good thing!

I replaced the coolant tank, blue resevoir cap, thermostat, water pump and coolant but didn't help. Problem was my radiator was partially blocked. I replaced my radiator this spring and it's run like a champ.

I have a 2001 GLX 4 Motion with 50K, and so far haven't had any major repairs, replaced a switch in the dash and the front and rear brake pads.

for vw's; i prefer using the 50/50 coolant from the dealer my gf's 2.0 had a small leak for months and we just kept on topping it off with the pepboys stuff-- but once i replaced the thermostat housing you can see corrosion in the hoses and the old housing -the coolant from vw is quite different than aftermarket brands (you can really tell just from its thickness-- i suggest forking the dough over for the vw stuff -other cars; i don't know

my car had a similar problem, mk2, but still a vw. turns out the relay works killer, my problem was a combination of the main pump going bad and some very very bad corosion in the fuse box.

I see you have a Digi Head there, when I took mine off, (with over 130K) it didn't look that bad!, and it was headed to the machine shop to have new valves put in after I bent one, and blew the gasket

the brakes are pretty damn awesome for a stock car too.

Well, my windshield has been replaced! I am wondering though... Did they install a right hand drive windshield? LOL, I don't even think that there would be one in the country, but this is VW . If you look you will notice that the VW logo is now on the driver\u2019s side.

I've tried this filter and it produced lots more startup rattle from the lifters. Something to watch out for when trying it out.

I've used the larger oil filter for a couple changes and have gone back to the smaller stock filter for one reason. The drain-back valve on the diesel filter didn't work nearly as well as the valve on the smaller stock filter. I'd get a little valve rattle at startup with it which was noisy and embarassing to put it mildly. It did this consistently while the larger filter was used over 3 oil change intervals. Back to the stock filter now and all is silent.
