I installed Micheline X-Ice xi3s a few days prior -- Boy was I impressed. I feel so much more confident in it than my 4runner. I even made it up a small hill that was basically just an ice sheet from a stop. I'm taking it out skiing this weekend with multiple inches of snow in the forecast, after last night I'm quite confident in the little GTI.
Pros: more confident, very impressed

I found the headlights to be nice and bright and cutoff at distance down the road seemed pretty good.
Pros: nice and bright

Bought General Altimax R12s. Tig does great in the snow. My front sensors also go berserk during the snow. Nuisance, but nothing that bothers me too much.
Pros: great in the snow
Cons: sensors go berserk

Happy with the snow handling Have micheline X-ice tires on, big upgrade there compared to the stock Continental tires. Handles great in the snow and on the ice up here in Saskatoon, SK.
Pros: great snow, ice handling

After a quick survey of the struts/shocks available, I decided to go with a set of Bilstein B4's front and rear. These aren't adjustable but should match the factory spring rates very nicely.
Pros: match factory spring rates
Cons: aren't adjustable

Haven't had any major problems with the camera or the wiring yet... Twice have gotten SD card error and ejected/reinserted card and no other issues. Wife was going down narrow street and hit mirror of another vehicle... Was glad to be able to see what happened... Also with 64gb SD card, had plenty of space and was able to go back and find it a few days later... I would purchase it again.
Pros: good video evidence, plenty of space
Cons: SD card error

Just changed out the original plugs in my 2014 Ed30 GLi at 58K and totally agree with the other observations here. The idling has improved tremendously and the general over all performance of the car is back where it should be.
Pros: idling improved tremendously

Eventually it was deemed that the brake discs had become faulty, giving a vibration on braking and there was high speed vibration caused by unbalanced tyres. Front discs replaced, braking vibration gone.
Pros: braking vibration gone
Cons: brake discs faulty

They rate the pump at 500 hours on ethanol and I think I actually got less than that. Although I have heard dsm and evo guys running these pumps with no issues for over a year my guess is our cars don't like it. This is a genuine 044 not a fake one. It was installed of July of last year and it ran pump fuel until December. My pump completely died on Friday and the car would not start. Luckily my friend had a spare one laying around that he wasn't using popped it in and the car started up again.
Cons: died prematurely, not E85 compatible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Part number: 044
