Gates › Timing belt

BAD.GolfR 22 Dec 2020, 20:28

Rating 5.0

Visible wear:

I just completed this on my '13 a few weeks back at 68,000. Belt was still in good condition but as others noted, thats not the only point of failure and my roller bearings had some excessive play so I am glad I did it given the risk of letting it go.

Pros: belt in good condition

Cons: roller bearings excessive play

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 109436 km

OEM Volkswagen › Tie rods

sgnimj96 20 Dec 2020, 00:25

Rating 5.0

Steering play:

If you still have the factory non-adjustable tie rod on one side, just replace it - that thing is old AF. All the new ones are adjustable, that was just for their assembly line.

Pros: new ones are adjustable

Cons: old AF

Vehicle: Volkswagen

STOPTECH › Brake discs

gruppe-b 19 Dec 2020, 17:15

Rating 5.0

Braking:
Noise:

I'm using StopTech's 1-piece drilled and cryo-treated rotors and EBC Redstuff pads and have been extremely impressed with their performance on the street.Very good braking and fairly low dust and/or noise.

Pros: very good braking, low dust

Cons: some trimming needed

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Castrol › Engine oil

German_GTI 19 Dec 2020, 11:38

Rating 5.0

The approach to go with 10W40 is absolutely right - from my experience the best oil for that kind of engines! Take an expensive Castrol Magnatec Oil and it runs well.

Pros: best oil for engine, runs well

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mann › Oil filter

Old Reliable 18 Dec 2020, 16:43

Rating 5.0

I use conventional oil (10w-40) and personally change it every 2,000 with a new Mann or Mahle filter.

Pros: Keeps engine running well

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

OEM Volkswagen › Timing belt

GTIZRX 17 Dec 2020, 16:53

Rating 5.0

Visible wear:

On my daily R I just replaced the timing belt and water pump at 80,000 miles. It is my daily so I just did it to have piece of mind. The belt looked great as well as the water pump.

Pros: belt looked great

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 128747 km

Hawk Performance › Brake pads

David@vwvortex 16 Dec 2020, 20:04

Rating 4.0

Braking:

For pads I'm having pretty good success with the new Hawk Ceramic 5.0. I run those on my GLI(with Golf R calipers/brakes) and on the .:R. I was surprised for light track duty they were ok on both cars. Not a full on track pad to be clear. They are also a high torque pad so they have really good bite.

Pros: high torque, good bite

Cons: not for full track

Vehicle: Volkswagen

EBC › Brake pads

vw.pilot 13 Dec 2020, 22:02

Rating 5.0

Braking:

I used Corrado G60 hubs (still retaining 4x100 lug pattern) Corrado 4-wheel ABS system paired to adapters to run 11.8" 4piston Mercedes Benz front brakes with Yellowstuff EBC race compound pads and 10.2" rear discs with Hawk HPS pads. This brake configuration to mass ratio was already an upgrade on the 4800# donor car, here they are absolutely insane on a sub 3000# Mk1 Cabriolet.

Pros: insane stopping power

Vehicle: Volkswagen

KONI › Shock absorbers

modalita 2 Oct 2018, 11:48

Rating 3.0

Bottoming:

I installed them with the ECS 23mm bar. In retrospect I can't justify the additional price over say a Bilstein B6 (I installed those on my previous Jetta). I thought they would be smoother/more expensive riding than the Bilsteins, but you can still pick up every little expansion joint and imperfection in the road....unless that's what you are going for.

Pros: improves cornering

Cons: feel every imperfection

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

OEM Volkswagen › Headlights

DJMcGoven 3 Oct 2016, 21:44

Rating 1.0

Brightness:

So it looks like VW has stripped away a lot from their 2017 models, mainly the Beetle and Jetta. The GLI is down to one trim and no options again. They even removed the Bi-Xenon headlights.

Cons: removed Bi-Xenon headlights

Vehicle: Volkswagen Beetle
