I got a set of 155 R15 Vredstein Sprint Classics by mail order when they were on offer for about £50 a corner, then got them fitted locally - have been great tyres for my '72 1300.
I have been running 165/80 hankook k435 on my daily driver 1302 for over a year and haven't had any issues so far. Might want to check availability on those too.
The Nexens on my 70’ Beetle work great. No need to pay more.
Valvoline is ok, but that specific oil does not have the rating required for your vehicle. AMSOIL has by far better additives to clean/restore the engine. If you are currently using AMSOIL, then continue using it.
In my B5.5 Passat 1.8t... pulled forward a little too far and hit the sidewalk. Cracked the oil pan... Drained the oil, scuffed up the cracked area, applied JB Weld, waited an hour, filled with oil, and drove it home. Drove it another two years like that, just using an oil extractor to do oil changes instead of draining it from the bottom.
Yes basically the same as Macan calipers, just a LOT less expensive. The feel is great, more pad area and better clamping force compared to the OEM single piston, made my tires scream for mercy. The weight savings is a nice perk as well.
finished running the fuel lines too the rear and mounted the fuel filter housing with a new filter
The pads were about 60% worn and hard large metal shards embedded in them and the rotors have always been badly grooved from day 1. This suggest that its more likely the rotor that is a soft material. Once there are metal shards in the pads that will cause uneven friction and promote brake grab and pulsing. I replaced the pads and the \u201cwarp\u201d pulsing has gone completely, but I suspect the new pads will also eventually pick up metal shards from the rotor. The other point is in case people want to avoid factory pads is that the front pads are Jurid and the rears ATE. I ve replaced all with Padid.
I’m on my 2nd water pump, and it is starting to leak. I still need a third water pump.
Water pump 1 failed during the original warranty. Water pump 2 failed just outside of the new extended warranty for them I think I was at like 101,000 miles. Water pump 3 has now failed. I think im at like 110,000. Im really sick of being stranded in the middle of the night after work and Im sick of paying over $$$ for this obvious problem that everyone knows is a problem with these cars. I cant replace water pumps on average every 3 years. This isnt normal. Im 40 years old and have had many, many cars and 2 work trucks. I have never has a water pump fail on any car ever other than this one.
