Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
I swapped in Bilstein B8 shocks, now it looks great and the ride is great too.
Just ditched the OEM set of Goodyears on our Atlas this weekend for a set of Michelins, do it. Don't let tires hold back enjoyment of a vehicle.
I actually replaced the starter less than a year ago with a brand new (not a remanufactured) Bosch; hopefully its not the starter.
We had this on our 2021. VW replaced under warranty but not before making sure we didn’t touch the headlights to cause it ourselves
Update: Water pump replaced on Friday and new pump is quiet like the original so problem seems to be solved. Only conclusion is the 1st replacement must have been a factory defect and even though it was working, the noise definitely didnt give me long term confidence.
I have an Alltrack with GTI springs and B4s. It's well controlled but doesn't take as hard a set when cornering as the Koni's I had previously. I got tired of replacing the koni struts and they were too firm for the wife so the B4's were an easy choice.
I went with OE ignition coils and bosch spark plugs and the misfire went away for a couple days but came back on my drive to school.
When doing your own maintenance, a problem may arise in the event of a recall. My application under the water pump recall for my previous Tiguan (1st Gen - PQ) was denied even though it was replaced at a VW dealer because I did not show "convincing evidence" of having followed the scheduled coolant maintenance despite including my aftermarket receipts with miles and dates.
I ended up checking the ignition timing again, put in a new coil, new knock sensors, put in another fresh set of plugs, set the DPR MA to +5, and I failed my emissions test with the same results.
