On my 2019 GSW 4 Motion, I’m running Golf R springs F & R, Golf R RSB, and B4. With Continental Extreme DWS on 18” wheels, the ride, turn-in, and overall handling are very reminiscent of my Gen VI GTI.
I replaced the spark plugs, ignition coil plugs, alternator and checked the tensioner.
had so much fun today! no videos unfortunately but first in class and almost upset an STH guy, lol the car did great on the 240tw, 41psi. sport mode with esc fully off. lots of grip even though i was overdriving a bit.
For brakes, I went with Willwood 4 piston calipers with 10.1in rotors and a disk conversion in the rear. So, now I can stop, and have a lil less scary ride.
Great if taken care of!
I have a 2016 Golf 5MT, 160k mi now. It's been tuned for 120k and only major issue I've had is the original water pump went out last spring at approx. 140k.
During this time I also replaced the brake pads with oem ATE one’s (low dust) and oem brake fluid flush.
My 07 Passat has 236k. I change oil every 5k, cam follower every 70-100k (20k is serious overkill), lots of coil pack changes (like 4 or 5), and that is about it.
I did not like the Hankooks, they were ok this winter, but very loud.
VW TSI water pump: garbage.
I see no benefit in spending more than $12-$16 on OEM supplier air filter (Mann, Heignst or what have you). Marketing can try their best but I just ain't buying it.
