I have been running Pennzoil platinum euro in my 16 GTI its entire life and its now at 125,000km. I ran the same oil in my 2007 GTI before I sold it up until 190,000km. Never had a single problem, neither cars burned any oil.
I am running MK3 springs and Bilstien HDs on my 85 Jetta. No rub issues with 185/70R14s.
whats getting replaced -Oil pan gasket
I've run DWS and DWS06+ on multiple cars (MK4 jetta, GTI, 8P 3.2, RS4) and have friends with the same on other marques, over a period of at least 15 years. They are THE choice unless you want to spend more money on the Michelins. The only other option I'd consider is the Michelin CrossClimate, but these are touring tires, so you'll lose more of the dry performance of the DWS or AS/3, but have better "weather" performance, if that makes sense. I know a few folks with these, and they seem to like it, but they're appliance owners, not car enthusiasts.
I have them on my MK6 Jetta and they are the best tires I’ve ever had in the rain. NJ winters are no problem for them either. Good luck ????
I had PS AS3+ on a Focus, do not recommend. Light snow traction was horrible. I had DWS06+ on my 2014 TDI and now also on my 2016 GLI. Do not recommend. Heavy spots in tires. Rotate on time or suffer cupping and road noise like no tomorrow. I had PS AS4 on my TDI after the Conti's and have nothing but praise for them. Quiet, great wet traction, and stuck like velcro in the dry.
I'm at 4 sets of XL rated Conti DWS06+ now between 2 sets on my former '13 Golf R & the sets currently on my '20 S3 & '17 Alltrack & I've loved them for year round true all season use. Never used them on a 2WD vehicle but absolutely zero complaints on my Haldex equipped rides I've had them on in dry/wet/snow/ice/slush, hot/temperate/cold.
Then I accidently ordered standard Valeo wiper blades and they are so much quieter, but doesn't fully wipe on the downstroke on a clean windshield.
Water pump has been replaced 5 times. Twice under warranty. Had I been smart I would’ve gone with an aftermarket metal pump.
Mine has also always had constant problems, I’ve spent so much money just replacing the water pump as well. I’ve also considered selling mine, because the cost of maintenance outweighs the fun of the car…
