These tires are nothing short of amazing, i've never felt my previous gti or my new one perform the way it does on these tires. I can't recommend them enough, they're really *that* good.
The ride is very soft/smooth and quiet. Far superior in handling (obviously) and noise than the factory Michelin's were.
we ordered a vdo tb, installed it reset tb and it ran fine for 7 months and 20k miles.

Edge worked great for me. Maybe the best oil on the market.
I use Rotella 5-w40. I've been using it for like 5 years in my 02 1.8t and haven't noticed any wear really at all. I drive pretty aggressive, redline 3+ times a day.
I've used 0W40 Mobil 1 Full Synthetic from the beginning. I have Blackstone Labs constantly analyze my oil. It started with several 5k mile analysis and then I upped it to every 7.5k miles. The oil analysis came back very healthy on all 5k and 7.5k mile analysis, and led me to up it once more to every 10k oil change interval which it will remain. I use the larger Passat 1.8T oil filter. The engine has almost 170k miles on it and still running strong.
Switching from dino 5w30 (previous owner) to Motul 5w40 in my 2.0 8v reduced oil consumption drastically, quieted lifter noise and increased MPGs.
You do realize that tierod length is adjustable, don't you? Did you know that there are two different racks used by VW (TRW and ZF)? Are you sure that you received the correct parts? Meyle complete tierods for TRW steering racks are $20.XX from autohaus.az (with free ground shipping on orders over $50). That's less than many companies charge for just the outer tierod. Have you read the Bentley Manual about adjusting the initial overall length of a tierod when installing new ones?
The car takes a different oil filter (wix 57170). The filter housing has a center structure coming out of it that slides in the bottom of the filter (to keep it in place?) and the new filter doesnt have that. I sat there with a dremel for 2 hours and made the new filter fit. Success, but its still leaking the same amount of oil.
