I have never seen my 2017 Jetta low on the dip stick. I usually change it about every 5k miles using Mobil 1.
Stay with HR Sports and get Bilstein 8s, add a GOLF R RSB take off at the same time and have it aligned. You'll have a great setup
Here's my 2018 R with new Bosch wipers from FCP Euro (and a sad puddle of pollen). Windshield's never been replaced, to my knowledge, though I'm the second owner.
When I bought a new intake manifold for my 13 Eos my indy shop charged a little over $600.00 to do the walnut blasting (with before and after pics) and installing the new intake manifold. My VW dealer wanted over $900 for the carbon service. It's unbelievable the difference in idling and actual power the car has now. The car had around 72,000 miles at the time of service.
Bosch has a support site that shows what alternators they recommend for your VIN number. AL20X (65A) and AL172X (65A) are the two Bosch shows. However most of us know the original was a 90A unit AL30X.
Bought a separate set of winter wheels, sensors, and tires (Vredestein Wintrac Pro) from Tire Rack. Otherwise just regular maintenance. Driven over 65k miles so far, almost all of it chasing snow throughout New England.
My car has been pretty reliable with an IS38 if you take away the issues caused by me or shitty parts (spark plug break after running past interval / Shuenk's POS), or the HPA HPFP that shit the bed after going with ethanol.
The Mahle thermostat arrived today along with all the other bits I think I need to put the car back together. The problem is that the new one doesn't quite match the old one.
I tried RainX once and immediately returned them because I couldn't stand how much the connector clips stuck up past the lower windshield line.
Up until a little over 45k miles, I was impressed that nothing had gone wrong. Then a little while back, it started to get a misfire. It was discovered that one of the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. That was a fairly expensive repair especially for a car with such low miles.
