Thanks for this great thread. I was about to pull the trigger on the EQT update for full torque on my Mk8R but I'm similarly skeptically about the possible long term consequences. Frankly speaking, it's darn quick already and I appreciate the overall flat torque curve. I feel it will be better for the track as well when I'm really revving it out..
Pros: overall flat torque curve
Cons: long term consequences

So I ended up going with the 185/65r14 Hankooks (891 revs/mile) ... Balancing is actually pretty good for a manual bubble-level. Smooth up to ~85mph and then a tiny vibration starts and gets a little worse around 95. That's fine.. I stay under 80mph 99.999% of the time anyway. And speedo is dead-accurate, now, too, for the first time in my 19 years of ownership.
Pros: good balancing, smooth ride, accurate speedo
Cons: slight vibration at high speed

Set of staggered Bridgestone Blizzak tires, used for one season in Colorado (<5k miles), no longer need them. These came off a 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 with the 19 inch wheels. They worked great for us in Colorado.
Pros: fantastic snow and ice tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 8000 km
I assumed it was bad and while it was sad to get rid of the OE Bosch, Autozone had a C831 coil that I was able to pick up. I think the boot was slightly too small but I’m 90% sure it’s making contact but I am still not getting it to arc.
Cons: boot slightly too small
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: C831
Generally the OEM plastic water pump only lasts as long as the timing belt interval. I wouldn't rule it out since the overflow water you might be seeing could just be water which is expanding or boiling as you increase the engine speed.
Pros: lasts timing belt interval
Cons: plastic water pump

I have never been able to fit 3rd party wiper blades to my ‘13 golf r. Bosch guarantees fit but they are always a smidge too long. I always end up buying OEM blades
Cons: don't fit properly, always too long

I’ve had my car for 6 months. It’s loud on the return wipe, like it’s there is not enough water so it stutters. It happens regardless of how much water is on the glass. I had a MK7 and it was silent. Its happened since day 1, I’ll start by changing the blade and see if that is the issue.
Cons: loud on return wipe, stutters
