I was always a Michelin buyer because they were consistently quiet and long lasting offering excellent all around performance. 20,000 mikes ago I replaced the OEM tires on my Mk7 Jetta R-Line with the Turanza Quiettrack and am pleased without any regrets.
Pros: genuinely quiet, no wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 32186 km
You will probably be fine running the Peak stuff if you have to, but I seem to recall a few years ago I was able to purchase Pentosin/Pentofrost from Advance Auto Parts. That was a brand that I saw often on VW parts sites and it meets the standards for using it in the MKIV VW cooling systems, so I went with that.
Pros: meets VW standards
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
We dont need new wipers on Tiguan yet but I have been always buying Valeo OE wipers for my CC. I also dont like bulky adapters they fit just like factory.
Pros: fit just like factory
Cons: bulky adapters

I have done my own routine service ever since, with Mobil 10W-40 and the Mann 950/4 filter, which is the largest one I can cram between the oil cooler and the left engine mount.
Pros: largest filter fits

Part number: 950/4
This is a late response but I just saw your post and it's exactly what happened to me when I took my 2018 GSW 1.8 TSI 4Mo in for the 20k mi service. They filled it with 508 00 0W-20. I didn't catch it until much later and I changed the oil myself at 27k mi with Mobil 1 502 00 VW approved 0W-40 oil.
Pros: VW approved oil
Cons: incorrect oil used

Mileage: 27000 km
On my GTI, I had a set of the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate. Those were very nice tires. Not too loud, especially for a performance all-season, but very grippy and responsive.
Pros: very grippy, responsive
Cons: Not too loud

It's MUCH better. The forum member makes really nice harnesses to spit the horn into two notes using HELLA replacements. I want to say it was about $144 all said and done. Even if it isn't as loud as a proper 2 horn setup, the tone is so much better it doesn't matter. It is 1000x more commanding.
Pros: tone is much better
Cons: not as loud
