With only a few hundred miles on them my experience has been very good with the Yokohama Advans. They are very nimble and have almost instant feedback when cornering, a big plus for me. Fairly quiet at highway speeds, and only slightly harsh.
Ive own both Mk6 1.8T Jetta and now have a Mk5 2.5L Jetta and both have required new radiators at 150k miles. they have not been leaking coolant since.
Not saying it is better than anything else, but on my G60 turbo i used Mobile1 FS-X 5w-50 and will continue with this oil on my PG/ABA turbo.
Redline recommended 10w-40 Full Synthetic for my 1.8 solid lifter JH turbo application and the tech guy suggested modern synthetics don't cause seal leakage (like OG synths of 25 years ago) and holds up way better than the 40w rating in hot temps and protects much better when cold than even the current crop of Castrol 20/50 dino oil I was running. I swapped over the M81 to the same Redline oil and have not yet noticed any new oil leaks yet.
I put purple in my 2015.
I'm the kind of person who uses 100% OEM whenever possible, but I wasn't actually able to find OEM G13. Not sure who the OEM even is.
The purple "Peak" brand coolant in your image is the only kind I was able to find. I've got about 10,000 miles on it and it's been just fine so far.
That's probably the kit I'd go with for my GLI. Again, as a daily driver... it meets the needs. The semi-metallic pads work good in many different temp ranges. However, semi-metallic pads also produce more brake dust, so you'll get more debris on your rotors faster. One of the other downsides is that they're more aggressive on the braking rotor because they're metallic, so you'll need to check your rotors more often for thinning.
I ran Mobil 1 20w/50 for 24 years. The guys at NGP use Liqui Moly everything so I switched after reading up on it. I'm REALLY liking Liqui Moly since I switched 3 years ago.
New NGK plugs were a definite improvement. MSD coils were not!
Two and a half winters. Rotated twice. All four tires are ruined. I would have never noticed it if I hadn't had seen that shiny upper control arm.
I have it on the eGolf and the trade off of seeing the heating elements is not worth the benefit. If you ever drive in direct sunlight, you'll see these hundreds of wires reflecting making it very difficult to see.
