I drive on Continental Extreme Contact DWS year round in a JSW. Great in rain, good in snow, and I off-road the car some and they handle that as well
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I have these on my Jetta right now and my god I freaking love them! So much better than those crappy Bridgestones EL-400 that came with the car.
I went to City VW(local dealership) got new oil pump and had it done. I put 10W30 Mobil. I drove so far only 500 miles and this first oil change I'm going to do with 1000 miles, and from this every 3.000. The thing is that if I had changed only the Oil Pump Pipe, the problem was solved. It was stacked of dirty oil. As the oil pump was out, I though that put already a new oil pump would be more safe.
I just picked up a set of Yokohama TRZ's for my wifes Golf, as they seemed to be a good all-around choice. She's had them a couple weeks now and they have been great. They feel great in the dry and in the wet, and are much quieter than the OEM Goodyears that they replaced.
I have Kumho ASX's on the GTI. Treadlife has been great. I currently have about 43k miles on the set and if the retards aligned my wheels correctly when I had them put on, I would be able to get another 15-20k out of them I'm sure. However, they're starting to develop some pretty bad cupping because of said poor alignment. Not the tire's fault, though. The noise is a little much. I notice it, but it doesn't bother me.
DOT4. Inexpensive brake fluid? ATE Type 200 & ATE super Blue (doesn't meet DOT spec due to the blue dye). If you have ESP, then it requires a low-viscosity DOT4, such as ATE SL.6 (since ESP were introduced to MKIV's in 2003)
I had the blinky oil light at warm idle and random oil pressure readings. ... Swapped out to a Mann filter, and 20w-50 Mobil1 High Millage, the problem went away.
For good measure, throw in a bottle of Chevron Techron, Redline SI-1, Gumout Regane, etc for additional cleaning power (from polyether amine)
Even tried different filters (Fram, Mann, etc.). It is slighly quieter with thinner oil.
I've never had a good set or known anyone who did. I've had Monroes faill in less than 1k miles on my Rabbit.
