Also interesting to see the windshield glass is Pilkington and to my suprise, no VW logo. Can any European friends verify if this is an aftermarket windshield or original?
I placed an order @ FCP Euro for their Contitech timing belt kit, along with a Bosch MAF. I placed my order Monday and got it yesterday. This is my first order with FCP Euro, and I'm very impressed. Will be ordering from them again!
I am now running 235/70R17 Yokohama GEOLANDAR A/T G015, gives the car almost 1" of lift, smooth and quiet on the freeway. They weigh 12# more than the stock 215/65R17 and make the car accelerate slower, but they are great on dirt roads.
ever since 15,000 miles I’ve been using Mobil1 0w40 and Mobil1 oil filter every 5k miles. I’ve used it on both hot 80-100f summer temps and now on winter temps. Haven’t had a single issue. When cold I can tell how the engine revs down quicker since oil is really thick so I couldn’t imagine the 5w. Still it’s been running for more than 50k miles on the Mobil1 0w-40 and it’s been great.
I recently replaced my 18 GTI SE front pads with EBC Red stuffs. My only regret is not doing it day one. Great performance and 90% less dust.

Bottom line: you can't go wrong with NGK. Can't really go wrong with OEM Bosch either but I'd just stick with NGK and make sure you gap them right, call it a day. I'd avoid Denso.
Yakima Load Warrior rack
when installing it with the OEM rubber hangers, I had to persuade the radiator into place with some lag bolts. It definitely doesn't go in like the stock one; looks like the end tanks on the Mishimoto unit hit in several places, preventing it from seating exactly where the original goes.
Stay away from Duplicolor Tire Shine. Its my fault, I presumed it was similar to Stoners excellent trim shine. It is not. I tried it and it completely discolored all the black trim pieces I sprayed it on.
