Pros: awesome, look amazing
Cons: 19 inch wheels required

I used the Castrol once, and have been buying the assembled kit from ECS ever since. At 73K miles, now, and change it every 7-8K.
Pros: good performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 73000 km
Starters don\u2019t generally \u201cslow down\u201d with age, really. You\u2019ll just find that one day it quits working. I had a failed starter on a 2002 Jetta, probably at around 290-300k miles
Pros: quits working suddenly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 482803 km

I just found this thread. I have a 2014 Jetta 1.8t with 107k that I bought for my daughter two years ago and it burns through a quart of oil about every month. It dropped cyinder 1 similar to what the other person experienced, but new plugs and ignition coils solved the problem.
Pros: solved the problem
Cons: burns through oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 172201 km
IDK - I was at 160K or so miles when I sold my '11 Tiguan. Sure, it ate a water pump, had the first gen timing chain tensioner replaced, needed cv axles, had a stuck fuel injector, lost an intake manifold, blew a turbo diaphragm, destroyed its engine mount bushings, struts and shocks went bad, needed seat covers replaced because they cracked and split and needed new tires every 25K or so...
Cons: ate a water pump
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 257495 km
Big problem with Duralast VW water pumps! The impeller is always made wrong or pressed too shallow, and rubs against the backwall and lockes up the pulley.
Cons: impeller made wrong, rubs, locks up pulley

Volkswagen
