Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
I have a nice set of mk3 1993-1999 volkswagen jetta smoked e-code headlights. Better light output than factory US headlamps.
Another vote for the Shell Rotella 15w-40. I run it year round in my Rabbit.
always ran castrol gtx diesel 15w-40 in my old 1.5 no real reason but when i bought the car it came with a case in the trunk so i just kept at it. motor never had a problem, and it ended up getting swapped into my buddy's rabbit and boosted.
I use Shell Rotella 15W40. It is C grade oil specifically for diesel engines.
When I first purchased my 08 WE, I used M1 0w-40. I found I was using about 1/2 quart per 5000 miles. LM cut that down to about 1/4 quart per 5000 miles.

Wow, adjusting the steering rack tension made a huge difference, car feels way more responsive now.
I've noticed a similar problem with the windshield in my 09 CC. Both the stock windshield and the replacement one (an oem VW replacement) that they put in after my accident have like a rippling effect to them that's noticeable when your looking out towards the passenger's side when making a turn. The ripples go from side to side.
I've not seen a zerk (grease fitting) on a VW since I had my '81 Rabbit Cabby that had fittings on the outer tie rod ends! All the ball joints are "factory sealed" lubed for life....in the case of my Passat that's not a very long life span! Control arm ball joints failed on it at 55K miles!
