Just put mine in today at the owners manuals advice, 15,000 KM. Castrol 5w40
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
My Rabbit truck has 11.3 GTI rotors and calipers with EBC pads and still they fit under 15 inch wheels. And oh yea, it stops great.
So far I've replaced all ignition coils (1 died while I was test driving the car, the other 2 years after in the winter, of course). I decided to replace them all with non-faulty Audi parts instead of doing it every year.
Rear calipers are a Porsche 944T, the disks in a VW Corrado / Golf G60, 280mm, 274mm lowered to the clamps are anchored with an adapter for Grinling54, is to lower a bit with the grinder, but it is simple
as the op stated, the car sounded completrely different. there was no hesitation, idle changes, vac changes. the car also accelerated a lot smoother as well. it was easier to start from a stop and the engine felt stronger. i didnt believe this at first myself so i threw them on my buddies heavily modded a4 that had an ignition problem between 4-5k rpm and the sound went away with these coils. his car also performed much better as well.
Total 5w40 took care of me to 8k with a 3071R. The oil is pretty decent stuff and not terribly expensive. I like their gear lube in my boxes. I run it in everything from my MKIV/B5 to my 07 Impreza 2.5i
i took the car in let him drain the battery and that was def dead. so we changed it and my car was beautiful, the lights didnt flicker at all.
Had a noise when idling my 2005 passat 2.0 diesel auto. When I turned the wheel at idle the belt would chirp and jump( at the pwr steering pump). Found out I had a defective Schrage(sp?) pulley/clutch on my Bosch 120 amp alternator.
So far we have; Changed to new spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor and the distributor is not leaking oil, tried two different sets of spark plugs Bosch F6DTC and NGK/RIDIUM BKR6EIX.
it's not the OIL that made my valvetrain noise worse....it just may be the Lucas additive. I was thinking that it might be bad when I was pouring it in, too; that stuff is like thick, sticky glue! Maybe the thickness of the stuff just isn't coating the lifters, because I can't believe how bad they sound.
