My 2012 Golf TDI with the DPF stuff states that it **MUST** have 507 00 5W30 spec diesel oil, not 505 00 or anything else.
Pros: proper spec oil
Cons: ridiculously expensive

I’ve been running them for 2 weeks so far on my Mk6, the ride reminds me of my dads Porsche: sporty and mildly stiff but not bone rattling. They say it’s equivalent to the Koni Sport (yellow) on the softest setting. And that’s good bc you won’t need anything stiffer and you’ll never have to adjust/test/adjust with them.
Pros: sporty, mildly stiff, not bone rattling

In about 85 I had to replace the tie rods on my 81 Rabbit Diesel, no power steering. It too had the fixed rod on the passenger side. All I could find at the time were the single tie-rod ends, but I used the inners off of a 84 Cabriolet, and after 85 I had separate inner rods and outer.
Pros: separate inner rods and outer
Cons: fixed rod on passenger side

FWIW: I live in Maryland and use Castrol Syntec 5w-40 in my 2012 JSW 2.5. I usually buy the filter and plug/washer from the dealer because they have the best price and I don't have to wait or pay for shipping.
Pros: best price, good quality

I purchased the MSD coil upgrade kit, swapped out the coil pack, new spark plugs / wires, fresh oil / filter. Fired her up and she purred like a kitten.
Pros: purred like a kitten

Everything went together without much issue. I used a Luk OEM dual mass flywheel along with the TT-RS disc and pressure plate. Had to drill out the holes for the dowels on the pressure plate just a bit but other than that, no surprises.
Pros: went together without issue
Cons: had to drill holes

I\u2019ve had the Koni Special Active shocks & struts for 2 months now. They\u2019re OK. They do ride very comfortably, you do feel every bump, they do stiffen, a bit, when the occasion calls for it. Definitely an upgrade over the OEM struts and shocks on my 2015 VW CC R-Line had but I definitely wish they were a bit stiffer overall.
Pros: ride very comfortably
Cons: wish they were stiffer

I also bought EBC YellowStuff last year, and they promptly broke several springs which lead to hugely annoying rattle noises when driving over bumps.
Cons: broke several springs, rattle noises
