I'm running the cheapest coated rotors from rockauto and Pagid "OE" pads and I'm happy with it.
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
Cheap blades costs half of a good one, and they last 3 months tops, this year, back in may, I invested a little more money and got Bosch blades, its been two months and they are still like new, if they last 6 months in that worse scenario, I'll be happy
Located in AZ. I called multiple places and the average was around $1,500 for both water pump and timing belt (dealership was over $3,000 which is insane).
I got lucky as one shop was doing a special for timing belt changes and I got both serviced for $950.
I have Akebono's on the rear of my R. VERY low dust from both.
Oil service has been done every 5K since then using Liqui Moly Molygen Full Synthetic 5W-40 and Hengst filters.
Last month, I replaced the clutch kit and DMF on my 1999 PD115 Passat with a LuK kit, and it was also slipping in 4th and 5th when I floored it (stock tune). After about a week of casual driving, it bedded in, and I had no problems since.
I threw on some Minerva F205 and they have been great.
The best middle ground would be your UHP All Seasons category. Not as performance oriented as summer. But also not as costly. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S, Conti DWS06+ for example.
I installed the old battery after recharging it and it has been working great until now. The new battery was faulty and I ended up returning it for a refund.
Everything negative said about the TX is true. They're shockingly bad and unworthy of the Continental brand. I upgraded to DWS06+; these are probably the best or second-best Conti-branded tire available in this market (USA+CDN).
