Lo, and behold, the Golf R front brake calipers and the MkV .:R32 calipers are made by ATE and nearly identical to the ATE calipers on the Volvo V50.
Pros: nearly identical

They haven't been out long enough to give concrete evidence. I will say that RAI's clearly reselling a belt made elsewhere so who knows what you're getting and Gates has a long track record for selling pretty tough belts.
Pros: Gates has long track record
Cons: RAI reselling belt

I;ve found that using the Dealer for these with the coupons they send is the best bet. To me they just look the best and work the best. Last pretty good too
Pros: look best, work best

I have done really well with Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 as well. All are good oils that you can get away with changing every 5-6,000 miles.
Pros: done really well, good oil

i had the same exact problem. tested the battery and alternator, both tested good. came across a fanactic VW mechanic. told him my problem, he test drove it for a couple of minutes. then he told me it was my alternator. my alternator is going bad. so i took his advise, bought a new bosch, and now, new more red light. plus the new alternator seemed to give me more power, thats from what i feel. probably just my imagination.
Pros: more power
Cons: red light

So i did this today with 3amp 400 piv diode and at idle i was charging at 14 and when i revved it was pegging at 16V, is this overkill? I dont want to drive around and kill my electrical system Click to expand... YES, very much overkill. So is the guy above that was putting out 13.9 and and now 14.7. Anything over 14.1 is usless and asking for trouble. Guys, this is a great mod, in fact i'm using the adjustable in my Corrado now and have it set to 14.1. However, if your already putting out close to that voltage than this is a waste of time. If your putting out 13.1 to 13.4 then i'd say go for it. Remember though to check it with the throttle raised and make sure your safe. Anyone leaveing their alternators pumping out 16v with the throttle up a bit, i'll give it a week and your battery will start to smell of rotten eggs. Then you've got dangerous problems on your hands.
Pros: adjustable voltage, stable charging
Cons: overcharging risk, battery damage
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
mine does it too, and ICONs are NOT crap, they are very good (usually) I think the new ones are crap, however. my dad has an 06 VE Jetta with original wipers and they work better than my new ones.
Pros: usually very good
Cons: new ones are crap, smearing
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
