SUMITOMO › Tires

Iroczgirl 5 Jan 2010, 05:57

Rating 4.0

Grip:
Ride comfort:

My experience is that they balance just fine but yes, they do have a thin (2 ply nylon?) sidewall, which is why I inflate them to 51 PSI as per manufacturer's spec and they do great! This is a diesel Jetta so the fastest I've driven them at a constant speed was about 80mph from central Connecticut to midcoast Maine. I also drove the Jetta from Maine to Seattle 2 summers ago with over a thousand pounds of "stuff" in and on the car. They behaved just fine and did excellent in the horrible rainstorms I encountered in Illinois.

Pros: balance just fine, good in rain

Cons: thin sidewall

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Varta › Battery

Jxander 5 Jan 2010, 02:58

Rating 4.0

Indicator:

As for the battery choice, I'd personally opt for the Varta. The main reason being the service life you have received from the original battery. I wouldn't worry too much about the Varta's lower rating as the original has seemed sufficient over approximately 6 years and most Phaeton owners are reporting excellent life from the original batteries.

Pros: excellent service life

Cons: lower rating

Vehicle: Volkswagen Phaeton

BERU › Ignition coil

headshok2002 4 Jan 2010, 14:27

Rating 4.0

Jerks:

Car was misfiring, so I replaced the ignition coil unit (old one was showing cracks). I replaced it with a Beru (OEM) unit. Car went from a sputtering mess to running like a top.

Pros: running like a top

Cons: open circuit

Vehicle: Volkswagen Beetle

SUMITOMO › Tires

Rating 4.0

Grip:

Had them on the Jetta for 2 years now. Great summer tire for general use. Don't expect it to handle sporty or go anywhere in the snow. But they do have a very low rolling resistance and will reward you with better mileage.

Pros: low rolling resistance, better mileage

Cons: not for sporty use, not for snow

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Brembo › Brake pads

Lewylou78 1 Jan 2010, 18:29

Rating 5.0

Braking:

It's a very noticeable difference when compared to the stock 10.1" (on my 99 4-door that is). You add a little bit more weight up front, but it's worth it since you get much better stopping power. I will never go back to the stock brakes, I love my G60 brakes

Pros: much better stopping power

Cons: add a little weight

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Girling › Brake caliper

rocklizzard91 1 Jan 2010, 12:29

Rating 5.0

Pulling:

i have the girling 60 dual piston calipers i love em i can pretty much lock them any time i want (SS lines and red box pads. stock master cyl)

Pros: love them, can lock

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Nokia › Tires

KKToureg 1 Jan 2010, 05:44

Rating 5.0

Ride comfort:

Ditto on the Nokians from me as well. On my 2nd set after 50K miles and find my speed control chimes going off regularly now (set at 96 MPH) because the ride is just so smooth.

Pros: ride is so smooth

Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg

Mileage: 50000 km

NGK › Spark plug

Insan3Vr6 31 Dec 2009, 21:11

Rating 4.0

Idle:

I just installed STI plug wires and NGK spark plugs. After the install the car tried hard to turn over again but still gave me the same issue as before. Turns out the motor was not getting gas so I didn't need to get new plugs/wires, but I am glad I did because now my car doesn't idle weird anymore.

Pros: car doesn't idle weird

Cons: same issue as before

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mobil › Engine oil

DaNo_VdUb 25 Nov 2008, 03:21

Rating 3.0

Engine noise:

about 4 weeks ago i did a 10w 30 mobil 1 synthetic oil change in my obd1 vr6 mk2. i find with this i can hear more of what is going on under the hood and may b i'm getting parranoid over normal noises that are just amplified b/c of the intake everything coming from the motor seems louder. lifters i'm assuming esspecially when motor is cold. but oddly there is also a weird \"diesel\" sound...pinging?...around 3200 rpm.. Nothing before or after once motor is warm i notice it as well during coasting deceleration.

Pros: can hear more

Cons: weird diesel sound

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf
