The Nissens number is 65264 which is what I eventually ordered.
90 16v Passat rad fit just fine in my mk1 Jetta with a single fan mk1 (which mounted to the rad just fine) you can cut the wires and set them up for how ever you like.
I'm at 50k using M1 0W-40 at around a 8k oil change interval. Did the first change at 5k. Ran it up to 10k for the last change. Not burning a drop of oil. That is like a miracle for a VAG engine.
New thermostat, 80°C so the water will circulate throw the radiator well before its over 92°C, that made the coolant temp much smoother, never goes over 92 now, and never lower than 87°C. Adding a new water pump also helped, just to be safe.
I just installed the Chipwerke Piggy Back and LOVE the responsiveness already. plan on adjusting to setting 4-1. Added a Magnaflow 2.5 resonator 10416 and Magnaflow Muffler 11226. Not looking for much just a tad deeper sound and happy this far until a legit downpipe and catback are released down the road.
I had the Akebono Euro pads installed on my 18 Alltrack last week. Much less dust is generated by the Akebono Euro than OE pads (manufactured by Jurid). Akebono pads feel noticeably linear in braking power, while the OE pads have a tight initial bite on the rotors. Overall I would say OE pads have better braking power than Akebono pads. Yet I am very happy with the change, simply for the balance between performance and dust of the Akebono pads.
Completed my first oil change at 5k miles with Redline 0w20 and a Mann filter.
Factory exhaust manifold cooling and Bosch battery.
They do fit but I'm not sure if they are any better than standard ones. Didn't drive enough to notice any difference.
the Contis (ContiProContact NON Eco Plus) that came stock on my '14 Jetta were utter crap. Couldn't balance them despite multiple shops and Road Force, etc. Replaced with el cheapo Hankooks and it was like a new car, smooth as silk.
