The last GTI I drove was my 337 with coil overs. But I would never do anything that harsh again on a DD. The MS3 has been highly regarded for its handling since day one (although I can safely say the 1st gen shocks were poor - I just had Koni FSDs put in and it's night and day).
Put a used w8 rack in that had 66k on it. Tested it out before I buttoned it all up, seemed great. Buttoned it all up, drove a few miles on a test drive, no issues or noises at all.
The rotors and pads I used were Bosch and I'd use them again.
i have a mishimoto radiator and it works just fine :thumbup:
So I picked up the MK4 unit. It sounds different than the old unit. From what I read it's got gear reduction in it. Car starts fine. Glad to have some new tech in this old car, and it's funny, the MK1 unit has a 1 year warranty while the MK4 unit is lifetime. Put another check in the pro column for the MK4 unit!
I had this very same problem with my golf. Replaced both oil pressure sensors....nothing. Did an oil change....nothing. Replaced the instrument cluster....nothing. I was about to pull the pan off the motor to check for clogging on the screen or if the pump was faulty when I thought about an engine flush. I did just that, new 10w40 oil and mann filter and problem solved.
I ordered and received a bunch of maintenance items for the Van. But I plan to cover: Fuel lines (finally) Trans Filter/Flush Rear Diff Gasket and fluid Headlight Relay Kit Dual Washer nozzles Upper Ball Joints Lower Ball Joint Repack the front bearings SST Brake lines 4 corners 15W-50 Mobile 1Oil and new Mahl/Mann filter With the above it should be good for another year of backup use.

My 2.8-year old mk6 GTI OEM battery started to show signs of aging about a month ago. It took longer to start when the car is cold and finally it failed to start yesterday. I called VW roadside assistance, got a jump start and went to Autozone, bought a Duralast Platinum AGM battery with size H6/48 . More to follow after the pics.
I changed them over to the NGK bkr7eix #2667 and was wondering if spark plugs would have any effect on boost? It seems like the car isn't boosting as it should, I have a boost gauge and it also seems the PSI is a couple LBs lower than before the spark plug change. I have not experienced any misfires (that I can tell) and no CEL it's just the boost doesn't seem as high.
