within the past six months, off the top of my head, i had the following done at tyrolsport : timing belt water pump thermostat oil cooler and housing all new coolant hoses.. thats right.. i did it just cause.. i have the reciepts. valve cover gasket cam tensioner gasket ngk pfr6q's see where this is going?
Koni... they transformed my Mk4 Golf into something that rode and handled better when compared to stock... The ride was stiffer, but the quality was actually better, especially on the highway. A lot of people noticed and commented on how good the car felt.
The Bilstein sports in my corrado ride nicer than stock.
I bought a Bosch 48-700B from Pep Boys. The guy that helped me knew a lot about batteries and looked up the right one in the computer without any problem.
I use a K & N passat filter. Its the same (I think) you get the added oil capacity.
Bosch 72174 = BIG
I've kept using GTX in my Passat and just recently had warranty work done (cam adjusters, valve cover gaskets etc.)...dealer honored the warranty and I got no feedback that my engine was "sludged up due to non syn oil"..so I'm stick with it!
I think I saw someone mention Bilstein heavy duty shocks. I also recommend them. I love the way the van rides on these, and I don't consider it harsh at all.
I am at 20,000 miles with my 07 VW GTI that has several modifications including a chip and I am about to change my spark plugs. I have heard many people say that the colder application spark plugs will work better for my car due to the fact that it is chipped. I went to the dealer and purchased the bosch #101-905-631-B spark plugs which the dealer recommends, but I dont know if these plugs are the colder application? Please give me your guys feedback on what plugs I should buy (Part #'s and website that I can purchase them from). I care about my GTI and want it to run the best it possibly can. I appreciate any feedback you guys can give!
Bridgestone Potenza G009 195/50/15 (horrible crap tires)
