I've been using the NOCO Genius Boost Plus GB40 for almost 4 years now. It has started my Mk VI GTI with shaved heads and high compression pistons in the Winter with a completely dead battery. I never worry about being able to start my car.
I'm running their sport pads with Zimmerman cross drilled rotors. The Zimmerman rotors are significantly cheaper for the same consumable. Very happy with my setup and I would repeat it in the future
Yeah, the first thing I did was an oil change. I put liqui moly 5w-40 in the car and the oil level is top of the dipstick (EDIT: within the max/min level on the dipstick, top of max, I should specify). I put a Mahle filter in there as well.
Mine on my Corrado VR6 are set right in the middle and are as smooth riding as any car. It also corners better than any car I have owned.
i did add a dipstick fuel filter looked to be newer, plausible considering the somewhat recent pump and injector service, but figured "while im in there..."
B8's are great. I run them on my MK7. But they need to be paired with more aggressive springs as the B8's are a shorter & stiffer strut. So softer springs will often bottom them out.
Like H&R Sports. Those are a popular combo with the B8 strut.
Yes, you'll notice a difference. As the car will have proper damping. Ride won't be as harsh, bumps won't be bouncy, cornering will be more definitive & sharp.
I think you will find out Castrol EDGE® Euro Car 5W-40 A3/B4 Full Synthetic is a better all around oil then and oil I’ve owned Volkswagen all my life and that’s all I’ve ever run in my vehicles never had a problem and if you want to run the 10,000 miles between oil changes this oil will handle it
Not the OP but I want to change the fronts to anything lower in dust, these things are a mess.
costly repair I have had to replace the sensor in the wheel for the ABS before.
155k miles - water pump leaking again, gaskets in inlet/outlet pipes need new gaskets, put on aftermarket aluminum water pump in hopes to prevent future leaks.
