I too have a 2013 passat with the CKRA, I’m currently at 175k miles. I do my oil change every 7500 miles. I only use liqui-moly top tech 4200 5w-30. I usually never have to add oil between changes unless a lot of hard driving in the summer.
Pros: no oil between changes
Cons: hard driving in summer
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 175000 km
I've been using Castrol Edge 5w-40 for years and have had good results, but wondering what others are using. I initially used Mobil1 0w-40 but got a lot of lifter noise which disappeared after switching to Castrol.
Pros: good results, quiet operation
Cons: lifter noise with Mobil1
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
Ive tried other plugs that are oem spec but not from VW and I like the way the oem plugs work better.
Pros: work better

My Goodyears seem grippier than a buddy\u2019s GTI on PS4s, but I do think their wear is much higher, so probably not worth it over the Michelins. The Goodyears do have excellent rain and cool weather grip though, much more confidence inspiring than Hankook RS4
Pros: excellent rain grip
Cons: high wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mine came w the Bridgestones - Potenza S0005 - they are excellent. Grip is so good that w UHP all seasons on the difference in grip is really noticeable - this car has such high limits/power that the difference is significant. Yes, the Bridgestones are noisy, especially on the highway.
Pros: excellent grip, high limits
Cons: noisy, especially on highway

I found a Febi unit it at a local euro parts dealer that somehow always has the most obscure mk2 parts in stock when I need them. Ill give the Febi a try but if this one fails I'll have to bypass it like a hack.
Cons: might fail

on windshield #2 after tractor kicked up gravel from side of highway. Was surprised as I never had that experience after driving many cars for decades.
Cons: cracked easily, low durability

I have gone through THREE windshields since January 2023! I tend to think that it’s the height angle of the windshield
Cons: frequent replacements, poor design
Vehicle:
