ATE › Brake caliper

Prince Ludwig 20 Mar 2012, 20:42

Rating 5.0

Uneven wear:

Although I haven't experienced this with my Phaeton, my W8 had problems with a brake wobble under heavy braking and has the ATE 2FN calipers which were the predecessors to the Phaeton's calipers. I was worried that it was the discs that had warped but when I stripped them down it appeared that the brake pad connected to the pistons on one of the calipers had very uneven wear. Installing a new set of pads completely solved the problem although I suspect I might need to get the calipers refurbished to sort out the uneven wear...

Pros: new pads solved problem

Cons: uneven pad wear

Vehicle: Volkswagen Phaeton

HUCO › Ignition coil

ooobombz 17 Mar 2012, 20:35

Rating 5.0

Starting:

I had the same deal, but none of the similar error codes. Verdict: it's probably your ignition coil. Overtime they crack SOOOOO SLIGHTLY that they let in moisture and you're boned. I snagged the Huco cheap one, been fixed ever since. I finally saw the cracks in the old one when I took it off and it was easy to change. I have a 1997 Golf GTI 2.0 8v

Pros: easy to change, fixed issue

Cons: cracks let in moisture

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Bosch › Alternator

i swaped my wimpy 90amp stock alternator for a brand new bosch 120 amp for a vr6 u just have to change the pulley which is easy if you have a impact gun go to a shop with your old and new one and pay the guy 10 bucks and im sure he will do it takes a min everything else is plug and play connector is the same and then all you have is the charge wire that bolts on the alt and goes to the batt ......really super easy

Pros: plug and play, super easy

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Shell › Engine oil

SnoopisTDI 8 Mar 2012, 22:58

Rating 4.0

This is a 2009 GTI, just over 27k miles on the car, and 10,000 miles on Rotella T6. Car is tuned APR stage 1 93 octane, and has a Carbonio intake. I had some concern that maybe I didn't oil the air filter enough, and it looks like that is verified with the high silicon.

Pros: good oil, easy to find

Cons: high silicon

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 10000 km

BRIDGESTONE › Tires

cscsc 5 Mar 2012, 12:08

Rating 5.0

Grip:

I'll run mine 'till the wheels fall off. It's been relatively trouble free - most all problems were fixed while it was under warranty. Front pads & rotors were replaced twice, latest at 30K. So far, so good, but the rear pads are ready for replacement now - will replace rotors also.

Pros: trouble free, good mileage

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 30000 km

Castrol › Engine oil

edyvw 3 Mar 2012, 16:23

Rating 5.0

GC 0W30 is PAO based oil. PAO and Ester based oils are much more stable and clean engines much better. People who need 502.00 approved oil simplly LOVE that thing!

Pros: much more stable, cleans engines better

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Castrol › Engine oil

edyvw 3 Mar 2012, 06:08

Rating 4.5

I am sticking with 0W30. Plus, it is better for cold start, which is one of the most important things!

Pros: better for cold start

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Castrol › Engine oil

edyvw 3 Mar 2012, 00:23

Rating 5.0

Castrol 0W30 Made in germany, or as it is best known "German castrol." It is "thick" 0W30 more going toward 0W40. It is thermaly very stable oil. I used it on Passat B5.5 1.8T (2005) and there is more then obvius difference between "GC" and regular Castrol 5W40. GC so far is the best I used it.

Pros: thermaly very stable, obvious difference

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Goodyear › Wiper blades

FigureFive 15 Mar 2011, 00:49

Rating 3.0

Wipe quality:
Streaks/chatter:
Noise:

Coscto sells some Goodyear wipers that do fit. They come with several different fittings for different wiper arms designs. The trouble is the fitting that works with the R32's aero wipers is about half an inch taller than OEM and they look like poo. On the plus side they're only $8 per blade.

Pros: cheap, different fittings included

Cons: taller than OEM, bad look

Vehicle: Volkswagen

NGK › Spark plug

DarkSideGTI 26 Aug 2009, 14:53

Rating 2.0

Acceleration:

I got some NGK DCPR8EIX's and gapped them to .022" and took them for a drive and they were fine. Then this morning on the way to work I did a 2-3 gear pull and got some misfires after my 2-3 shift.

Pros: fine initially

Cons: misfires after shift

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Part number: DCPR8EIX
