I ended up buying that evening a new Hitachi (original manufacture for VW) HPFP ($300) from Rockauto because they were significantly cheaper all the other suppliers. Then as I dove deeper I started looking for just the fuel pressure regulator or as Hitachi calls it the fuel pump flow rate control solenoid. I found one on amazon from brand X for $30 that had a 4 star review from 600 people but after saturday evening I could never find that listing again so on sunday I bought this one and it arrived today as well as my Hitachi HPP0015 HPFP. I installed the $30 regulator in my original HPFP and its been working GREAT for 2 years now.
Pros: working great for 2 years
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: HPP0015
In my opinion the named brandes like continental, Michelin, good year are good but over priced. I Mostly run SAVA, dont know if you know the brand but they are Quite good for the price. I run them on Volkswagen golf 4 (195/16/55) and on Volkswagen passat (225/17/xx)
Pros: quite good for price
Cons: over priced

Right (passenger) front ABS sensor (ATE part no. WHT-003-860-B), when I got a slew of "Implausible Data" messages on my CANBus the day after Christmas, along with one complaint in Brakes module about the sensor. Replaced the sensor >2 weeks ago (Thanks to AutohauzAZ), and haven't had another issue.
Pros: no more issues
Cons: implausible data messages

Commenting here for others to find. 5TA915105B has dimensions that align with Group 48/H6 specs. I bought an Odyssey 48-720 and it was a perfect fit. Bonus tip - FCP Euro has it for $250 and it includes their lifetime warranty.
Pros: perfect fit, lifetime warranty

For what its worth, I had the Helix headlights on my 2017 GSW and yes, I had to set those up with HID ballasts and HID bulbs. I was able to tuck the ballast inside the back of the headlight and put the bulb access door/cover back on for a pretty clean install.
Pros: clean install

Not a fan of the OEM Continentals on my 2019 here in Western PA. Will switch to Vredesteins Quatrac Pro. I was pleased with them on the Tiguan and the wife\u2019s Volvo in winter driving and all around.
Pros: pleased with winter driving
Cons: not a fan

I have been having consistent issues with the TB. It has had the factory wire extension. Situation is as follows: Steady driving car is fine but I do get several bucks and sputters while accelerating (probably misfires) On take offs from stop signs or red lights the car will violently buck unless you are careful with the gas pedal, but ultimately 8 times out of ten will result in EPC light coming on and now you're in limp mode.
Cons: car violently buck, EPC light
