When I had my GLI, I immediately change the Hankooks out for Pirelli PZeros; they were way to stiff and made the car unstable. Swapped them out for Michelin AS 3+ which was a night and day difference. Relatively smooth and quiet ride, confident handling, excellent grip, good wet performance. I live in Southern California so I can't comment on snow. I used to have Contiental DWS06+ on my old 3 Series. Thats a great tire too, but more focused on comfort over the Michelin.

I forgot to put my Nokian winter tires on last season and my Michelin pilot sport AS3 tires did NOT remind me I was on all season tires during our ski country, lake effect snow ridden winter.
Just put the Continentals on my '19 GLI. Happy with them so far. they are top rated by Tire Rack customers. Replaced Michelin Pilot Sport which was very good on wet roads. Dumped the Hankooks not long after buying the car. Awful tires.
Our AS3 and my Continentals have historically worn smoothly, although the Michelin wear much better. Without really thinking about it I'm not sure how many miles we have on our AS3 but they are a lot of miles and even on the all-wheel drive car they have worn completely smoothly and evenly without a single hitch. Rotations with oil changes is all they get.
Been using Contis for many years now.They are excellent and not too pricey for most common sizes.Great all-arounders
I ended up going with the water pump here: Graf Water Pump . There is no difference in engine performance or fuel economy with the new pump. But it will take longer to warm up, especially in colder weather.
I ordered and installed a k&n air-filter in my 19 Jetta r-line 1.4 and it seems to have a little more pep.
In my experience, the headlights aren't bad but I liked the ones on my 2017 more. The 2020 has a brighter light, but it doesn't look like as much of the road in front of me is illuminated.
I have changed cabin filters multiple times, and cleaned the evaporator with foam. I first used Klima cleaner, then I tried DWD2. I can not get this problem to go away.
I just went through this on my 2018 Passat SE with massive oil consumption. Get the dealer to do a oil consumption test. Mine failed on the 2nd test and had the rings and pistons replaced. Then it happened again less than 1000 miles afterwards (used 1.8qt in about 700 miles) and I just got my car back today after the long block was replaced (Basically they replaced the engine).
