The fix was two new decent blades. Anco worked great for me. $26 from Amazon and it's done.
Pros: worked great, decent blades

I began reading and ended up buying a set of NGK BKR7E-11 (Stock# 4464). From researching, it looks that the ones I got had the v-groove center and a little less projected tip. They are also 2 steps colder. It's been about 3k miles and the car is running great. Big difference over the Denso plugs as far as smoothness. I did not notice a difference in mileage.
Pros: running great, smoother operation
Cons: no mileage difference
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 3000 km
Part number: BKR7E-11
I can only comment on the ZFR5E-11 ... and let me say...THEY ARE AWESOME. Now of course these are not "official" OEM spark plugs for our engine, so just remember that...but the results speak for themselves. I'll say it again for effect... THE NGK ZFR5E-11 STANDARD COPPER SPARK PLUGS RUN GREAT IN VW 2.5L INLINE-5 CYLINDER ENGINES !!!!!!! Just had to gap down to .040"/1.0mm. The butt-dyno says YES, idle is smoother, MPG's are up (couldn't get more than 28 highway before, recorded multiple highway cruises on the NGKs at 72-75mph in the 30.X range!), and, oh yeah, did I mention they cost $2.50 per plug? The wallet also says YES. So run along now to your local auto parts store, where they are literally ALWAYS in stock (part #4435) and rejoice at the thought of walking out with 5 quality NGK copper plugs for less than $13.
Pros: awesome performance, smoother idle, improved MPG, low cost, always in stock
Cons: not official OEM

Had gislavid nordfrost's on my golf wagon tdi. Would highly recommend these tires. Northern Ontario highway driving, these tires were amazing on ice and hard packed snow, made the wagon feel like it was all wheel drive.
Pros: amazing on ice, hard snow

I have ~90,000 miles of winter driving under my belt, and will say that these Winter Sport 4D tires are probably the best that I've ever used.

I had this problem for well over a year, then my fuel pump died. Installed a Bosch because I felt the stalling problem, after lots of research, could be due to faulty pumps ..even new ones. The car didn't stall again under 1/4 tank for many months until all of a sudden, it did it again ..a few times.
Pros: no stalling for many months
Cons: stalling returned
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
On my mk3 I ran a fuel cell gravity feeding a bosch 044 pump with -6hose. I chose a K&N fuel filter that had a billet aluminum body with a screen disk as the filter. K&N verified this was OK for fuel injection. Well, the pump was so high flow that the screen filter was a real restriction and bent the screen kind of forcing it half way through the hole.
Cons: real restriction, bent the screen
