I replaced the OE tires with Continental DWS tires and they've been pretty solid. I've got 35k on them at this point and they have good tread remaining. However, I took my car in for rotation recently and they informed me the tires were cupping really badly.
The tire I decided to go with is the Goodyear Eagle RS-A2 P245/45R19, as it is almost the exact diameter of my stock P225/65 16" tires, and they were an affordable choice ($185 Canadian).
I use Rotella T6 on my 2.0T. it's fine.
That video is without the two small resonators directly after the cats and the large single muffler. I kept the last two resonators on with no effect on economy.
This thread helped me solve my own oil consumption issue. I was also burning 1qt every 200 miles. I replaced the valve cover and 600 miles later and I haven't lost a drop.
It certainly possible. That was my experience, my plugs looked like that and worse. For me number 3 was soaking wet with oil. since replacing my cover I have zero oil loss over 5000 mile OCI, and my plugs stay dry.
Original owner of a 2005 Reflex Silver 5MT 4Motion GLS wagon. Currently with 108,xxx miles. It has all options available for that year plus now with several mods incl: Votex ground effects kit and W8 rear bumper (painted to match) H&R lowering springs and Koni shocks Revo ECM flash (pushing about 21 psi boost)
Over the winter i did a brake upgrade on my GLI. Didnt want to spend $5k plus on front/rear BBK kit so i did as much as i could with the stock braking system \"as is\". Phil from USP motorsports really helped me out big time. honestly having it for more than three months now and being a WELL WORTH INVESTMENT i highly recommend this.
The PIAA Si-Tech are good but I had to get one of them replaced after I had it on for 2 weeks.
Learn from my mistakes. :facepalm: Although as shown on the link above that Bosch lists this pump as for the Mk4 R32... it is not correct. Some things you don't notice until you are halfway through the job.
