OEM Volkswagen › Engine oil

dopo 17 Oct 2014, 14:18

Rating 5.0

I've been using these docs for a while now, and am incredibly grateful for you sharing them. With that said, I just noticed something that's news to me. Both the \"Revised Oil Capacity Job Aid\" and the 2012 vs 2013 fluid capacity charts show a 1 qt decrease in engine oil capacity between 2012 and 2013 MY. I've always heard there were insignificant, minor changes between the model years. I've been putting 5ish into my 2012 and it's always been full according to the dipstick.

Pros: grateful for sharing them

Cons: 1 qt decrease in capacity

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Kumho › Tires

Rating 5.0

Grip:
Noise:

I bought a set of Kumho Ecsta PA31 HP for my GTI and they are probably the best all around all-season tire I've purchased! Great prices too. They are at about 3000 miles now and they are SO quiet, great in the rain, not bad cornering.

Pros: quiet, great in rain

Cons: not bad cornering

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 3000 km

MICHELIN › Tires

Preppy 15 Oct 2014, 21:48

Rating 4.5

Grip:

Dedicated set of Michelin XIce XI2 in 215/65R16 - AWD Highline Tig. Picked up a set of dealer take-off oem 16x6.5" tig wheels. Toronto winters with many trips to the cottage / snow belt. The offset / narrow width does result in an inboard look, but easily fixed with some spacers.

Pros: good for Toronto winters

Cons: inboard look (offset/narrow)

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

MOTUL › Engine oil

TBomb 14 Oct 2014, 15:28

Rating 4.0

Sounds like you already have your answer, but yes, the Motul 8100 X-Cess is a good oil, probably better than their VW specific oil.

Pros: good oil

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Akebono › Brake pads

eluviis 13 Oct 2014, 23:22

Rating 5.0

With some research I decided to order Akebono EUR1348. Just for the rear. I think the fronts are ok for now. I know the fronts usually wear out sooner, but I think they were originally replaced by the previous owner - just not the rears.

Pros: good for rear brakes

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Part number: EUR1348

Pirelli › Tires

kmead 13 Oct 2014, 02:06

Rating 4.0

Grip:

I have Pirelli's on our van and am much happier with them than I am with my Michelin's on my Golf. The Pirelli's are much much better in all conditions.

Pros: better in all conditions

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

OEM Volkswagen › Fuel filter

namasphere 7 Oct 2014, 04:13

Rating 4.0

Power:

I changed the fuel filter, oops, that was a mess, but once I got all the air out of the system it's running great again.

Pros: running great again

Cons: mess during change

Vehicle: Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen › Head gasket

briano1234 2 Oct 2014, 12:48

Rating 5.0

Doing a head gasket is easy. Only a few special tools are needed depending on the type of head bolt that is being used. Head Bolts are not re-usable in these beasties you have to buy new.

Pros: easy, few special tools

Cons: head bolts not re-usable

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Nexen › Tires

Rating 3.5

Grip:
Ride comfort:

I've sold a ton of Nexen tires and used them on all my loaner cars. I never buy the N5000's though. I stick to the Classe Premier line so CP641 and CP672 tires. I use them on my mother in law's Jetta and I have the Nexen Rodian HP on my Wife's MB R350. Decent tires. Not the best but for the price, they work very well.

Pros: decent for price, work very well

Cons: not the best

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
