Hey, I just bought a set of Hella Quad Headlights for my MK3.
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
Irregardless of what route you go, just make sure your water pump has a metal impeller and not a plastic one. The plastic one (factory on many VW) chips off and degrades over time causing all kinds of cooling issues.
Brakes: Golf R front brakes with Tyrol sport bushings, Neuspeed stainless lines, Motul 600 fluid, Carbotech street pads
Mine doesn't use any, and it gets an italian tuneup every time I start it. Running Rotella T6 5w40
You can actually buy the parts from the VW dealer for about $300; that's a kit with the belt, tensioner, and roller, plus a water pump and thermostat added separately. I've always had good luck with original parts, so that's what I've used.
I replaced mine also with the G14 and no problem at all, so it should work or your old battery broke becasuse of a defective module jorg
Here is a picture of the left battery that the factory put in my W12 when it was new. As you can see, it is labelled both 'Varta DE' and 'VW AG'.
So, I replaced the extremely worn voltage regulator and voltage picked up to 14.2 ish. Still wanted more so I replaced the battery cables, alternator to starter cable, and main grounds. Voltage now reads around 14.35 and peaks at 14.5. Surely the alternator cannot be the problem.
okay so i installed an alternator in my car yesterday, boosted it, let the battery charge a bit, removed jumpers...car stalled.
You know.... I thought I was immune to the brake issue on the Routan until about 3 hours ago. Was on the freeway and had to brake somewhat hard for traffic. And there it was.... very noticeable shake of warped front rotors. 9300 miles on it. I am super light on my brakes. Almost all of my driving is freeway driving. These rotors are clearly crap.
