Handling wise they were excellent, although, i havent tried a more premium tire on those rims yet, but in terms of the continentals i had as summer tires on a 15" rim before i upgraded they are WAY BETTER around corners, but that comes from there being alot less sidewall than the 15" with the continentals, i can take way steeper turns faster then what i could with the smaller rim.
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
My Passat has 370k km and is 20 years old, still on the original starter, and starts like a champ.
I buy Liqui Moly 6200 from germanparts.ca for about $70/5L. Our Tiguan consumes a lot of oil sadly, so I buy a lot of it. My mechanic recently recommended using Liquid Moly 2331 (Leichtlauf) 5W40 to see if it helps with oil consumption, and have had that in for the last month or so.
The bosch plugs can be found at autozone or O'Reilly's for about 18 bucks each. Cant recall the exact spec, but vw uses the Bosch plugs stock, so its a direct oe swap.
My dad has had the OE European (glass) headlights on his Mk4 Golf since 2002. They still look great all these years later, despite 300,000+ miles on them. The European beam pattern is so much better than the U.S. one, too.
I had them in my Mk4 Golf Tdi. E-Codes from Vw they were a lot brighter.
I put a set of euro Hellas on my golf years ago. The US light performance was very good for the time but the euro lights were so much better.
At the moment we have K02's on our van year round and G015's as winter tires for the Touareg. Both do their job in snow and the occasional mud at the trail head. At the time I got the K02's because they look more bad ass. They are overkill for me and are loud and getting louder as they wear.
I have a 2019 VW Atlas and have been hunting for the perfect wiper blade. I thought I dound it in the Bosch brand but alas that was short lived when I purchased a second set and they ended up smearing.
I recently experienced a high voltage battery failure while driving. The local dealership sent it to a VW dealer in Massachusetts for repair. One month later, it came back. I drove it for 2 days and plugged it in to charge, only to discover it wouldn’t take a charge. I had it towed to the local dealer who told me it needed a new battery charger ($2300 + $1100 labor) and I’m still waiting for the repair. I was only 17 days out of the 5-year warranty and VW won’t cover this repair. The Massachusetts dealer returned the car to me knowing it didn’t have a functional charger.
