I have seen NO reason not to use Mobil 1 5w40 in a NON PD TDI motor. I know many that use it and no problems RELATED to oil. They do not coke up and the wear isn't there. I have used 5w30, not even 5w40 Mobil 1 in my VW/Audi 2.4L engine in my Volvos for years and have seen the best results
Everything appears to fit well. The ride is smooth with the 275 40ZR 19 105 Load Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires. These are 3-season tires - turn-in is sharper and they are fun on highway on-ramps. The car is more "tossable" and fun to drive
I have used both 0w40 and 5w40 Mobil 1 in a 02 Jetta for a long time with great results.
New Rabbit front brake vented rotors (ATE) and new pads (Pagid)...SOLD
I ordered a bottle of AP Racing brake fluid and some new front pads. I'm going to flush my whole system and hopefully it fixes my issue.
i've had ebc rotors and and green stuff pads for about a year... they are very nice.! U have to put 500 miles on them to break in the rotor as well, seeing it conditions it 1st... . The ebc set up has wokerd wonders for me... exalent bite and supreme pedal response.!
I had replaced the factory refills with new ANCO refill blades for $8.00 (p/pair), after that, no chatter just smooth sailing.
Best brake mod for the buck, with this car. Did it on both my VR6 and G60! Tremendously improved brake feel, reduced fade, and decreased stopping distance.
It is supose to be a good filter & the top of the line for filtering out small particles but not the best flowing. My car was a little more noisy with it so I switched back to VW filters.
One problem that you can have with the K&N over the stock air filter is over-oiling by novice users. If you over-oil it and the extra oil gets onto the mass air flow sensor, you will need to replace the sensor. Supposedly they aren't cheap either. K&N filters can also be a pain to take care of too. When they get dirty, you have to wash them and re-oil them. This adds another time to screw up.
