In our 2003 1.8T Passat, we use; Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic High Mileage 5w-30. Changed every 4000 miles. Because we made the change early, we have not had and engine oil sludge problem. The Passat now has 205k miles.
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
I run NGK BKR6E's in my rabbit. I have had the best results and longest life from the NGK plugs. To the point that is all I run in any of my cars! LOVE them!
I got them replaced with the EBC YellowStuff and the brakes feel much better at the track now. They still get a bit soft once it's hot, but this may be due to the brake lines expanding?
LiquiMoly Leichtlauf High Tech 5W40 Easy DIY kits sold online for ~$70 delivered including VW filter and drain plug, has a good reputation in the VAG community
IKH 24 plugs with stock coils work just fine. No cutout, rough idle or misfire.
I have the B6's and Eibach Pro springs & they work great on my '16 R. They firm-up the ride and cure any lean. Overall, they are a little bit stiffer in all DCC settings.
Also my rear brakes say Bosch on the center of the pad so mine could be different from yours if yours aren’t showing the brand.
I do have B8's paired with H&R Supersport springs and H&R front and rear ARB's(rear set stiff and front to least stiff) on my MK5 GTI. Ride quality under normal daily driving is a bit harsher than stock...but when it is driven with demands for performance, it really comes into itself and gets more stable and reassuring at speeds over 140mph and when cornering.
I changed or done: - new brake pipe Textar - new caliper from TRW in red - pads are freely moving to sides - try disconnect handbrake line on this wheel - bearing has no play - new brakefluid, but pedal now has a little bit longer way then before ( till i try hard brake with abs active, then is better ) RR wheel when i brake harder is locking up first, so abs is involved..
Mine came with Pirelli Cinturato P7s and I hate them. They spin, hop, don't like to change direction but they do hold air and they are quiet. To their credit, they did not get worse in the cold however they weren't any good in the snow or ice.
