KONI › Shock absorbers

Mechalurch 15 Jun 2015, 04:05

Rating 4.0

Leaks:

I don't know if it will be the same for the Mustang, but on my GTI I have Koni STrt shocks and they certainly are not OEM+, they are about as stiff as the Koni yellows on the 3rd click up from the softest, they make for a rough ride combined with stiffer springs like the H&R race springs I run. As far as how they have held up they have been on there for about and year including one Upstate New York winter and they still perform the same, They have begun to make a squeaking noise over harsh bumps and I've noticed a little seepage at the top but the housings have next to no rust, no complaints.

Pros: still perform the same, no rust

Cons: rough ride, squeaking noise

Vehicle: Volkswagen

PEAK › Engine oil

lairdwd 7 Jun 2015, 21:10

Rating 4.0

Engine noise:

After oil change where I previously had 5W-30 with valvoline dino, I changed with a different brand 5W-30 (Peak brand). Ticking noise started immediately from engine area usually only after it got up to temperature. So I pulled out a quart from the diptube with my suction device and put in a quart of 10W-40. Almost immediately PROBLEM GONE.

Pros: problem gone almost immediately

Cons: ticking noise started immediately

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 125000 km

ROWE › Engine oil

Rating 4.0

Well, I just bought some 5w-40 Rowe HighTec Synt RS oil to do an oil change on my 3.6 VR CC.

Pros: extended drain interval

Vehicle: Volkswagen

LIQUI MOLY › Engine oil

Rating 5.0

Warning light:
Engine noise:
Exhaust smoke:

Liqui Moly for me all the way. It's made in Germany and their standards are second to none. We use their oil in our service department and in all of our own personal and show cars as well. Their oil test results are some of the best I've seen, I highly recommend using them.

Pros: best oil test results

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Castrol › Engine oil

under-pressure 2 Jun 2015, 11:48

Rating 4.0

Castrol 0W30 (a.k.a. German Castrol :thumbup seemed to shear thin very little over a similar interval, which is why I preferred it.

Pros: shear thin very little

Vehicle: Volkswagen

OEM Porsche › Radiator cap

Ultraflux3 2 Jun 2015, 02:47

Rating 5.0

Seal:
Overheat control:

I also got the best radiator cap I could find which was the Porsche Cayman one( 996 106 447 04 which is like 6 revisions from the original vw one) which is a way better design and much better fit than the MK1 rabbit one I had but seemed to work just fine.

Pros: better design, better fit

Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

Part number: 996 106 447 04

NGK › Spark plug

Robert~NRW 1 Apr 2014, 04:57

Rating 3.0

Starting:
Acceleration:

I have replaced the four spark plugs with properly gapped VW (NGK) plugs and still the #2 misfires cold and randomly thereafter. The original ones looked quite normal actually - chocolaty brown. Very little wear and a .032" gap.

Pros: normal appearance, little wear

Cons: misfires cold, misfires randomly

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

OEM Volkswagen › High-pressure fuel pump

wutbürger 5 Jul 2012, 13:44

Rating 0.5

Power:
Starting:

As a former TDI owner who had their HPFP blow up at 28,000 miles, I'd suggest going with the 2.5 and calling it a day. I can't speak to the exact mileage you'll achieve with a good amount of highway driving, but for me there's no way I'd own another CR TDI from the VW product group until they figure out why they have $8,000 ticking time-bombs under the hood

Cons: HPFP failure, high repair cost

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 28000 km
