I had my valve cover replaced due to it dying while on low rpm and idling. The valve cover has the pcv, n80, and other important components integrated within. So it can be a problem for many reasons. This solved all my issues that the dealer could not figure out.
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
Put on Michelin X ice snow on my vw golf for last season in saskatoon and with the snow we got it was so worth it.
The Peak coolant that is the correct color for your year, i.e. pink for the MkIV, is fine. I have been using it for several years with no problems.
I have been running them for 50,000 miles with is20 then is38 setup. Work perfect.
So update on this. I got the compressor back on and I still had the squeal. It ended up being the alternator pulley was seized. Try spinning the alternator fans by hand and if you can’t your pulley is seized. Parts cost me 30 bucks and was an easy replace. Bow she’s running great.
He helped me rebuild the car using new and authentic German parts—the brakes, the shock absorbers, wiring harness, etc.
Ran it for a few years in my 02 ALH with no issues.. supplied by my local VW certified (but not VW themselves) mechanics shop.
2018 Alltrack 6MT with 10,000 kms Had a rattle when the clutch was engaged (pedal out). When they dropped the transmission they found the "clutch spline was loose". I don't know exactly what that means but the dealership seems to think it came this way. Received a new clutch kit and release bearing under warranty.
I figured alternator, so took it to Autozone to scan and everything passed. Then took it to Meineke for them to check and they told me alternator was bad and replaced it. Well my interior lights were still flickering so I took it back and they say seems like the one they installed was defective, so they replace it again with an OEM Bosch and also print me a printout of a bulletin stating that under load lights may flicker and there is no solution.
My 2013 Tig with continental contact-pro tires has just lost the 2nd tire to sidewall failure at only 30k mi. First was a blowout, thankfully while parked. Second was a slow leak. No known issue that would have caused side-wall failure. Never saw that before.
