OEM Volkswagen › Oil filter

DCGULL 5 Apr 2005, 22:28

Rating 4.5

I have been running the larger filter for about 10,000 miles now- haven't had a bypass valve issue. I am using the same filter as a an audi/VW V6 30 valve engine. I do not know if that is the same as the diesel one though But- 62,000 miles so far, no valve lifter noise yet!

Pros: no bypass valve issue, no valve lifter noise

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 16093 km

I just replaced my plugs in an 89 16v yesterday. I ended up getting the Bosch platinum +2. I was leery of the platinums as everybody seems to knock them, but my car runs fine. They were 4 bucks each.

Pros: car runs fine

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

FULDA › Tires

Grip:

Fulda\u00b4s are the best tires you can get here for ultra low cost , but most vW people in Germany dislike Fulda\u00b4s .... they prefer spending 100\u00b4s of euros for Dunlop\u00b4s which i don\u00b4t like. I always buy Fulda\u00b4s or Continental\u00b4s...

Pros: ultra low cost

Cons: most dislike

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Noise:

just installed the power disks and mintex redboxes on my 90 b3 passat. i drive \"spirited,\" (fast) as well, and from what ive felt, and heard, these rotors are nice. the way i look at it, if the are good for the new beetle cup car and lupo cup car, theyre good enough for me.

Pros: nice rotors, good for racing

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B3

Dust:

I also have to recommend PBR/Axxis Deluxe Plus pads all the way around if you want a dustless pad with better than OEM performance.

Pros: dustless pad, better performance

Bosch › Oil filter

Warning light:

I have a 2001 Passat 1.8T, on which the oil and filter have been changed every 6 months or 3K mi, whichever came first. The dealer performed the first 4 oil changes, to the 2-year point, then I took over, always with a Bosch or Napa Gold (Wix) filter. Having received the engine sludge notice, I switched from name-brand dinosaur oil to Mobil 1 at my most recent oil change (last month, 23K miles). Although I receive no adverse temperature or indications at the instrument panel, the valve cover SEEMS perhaps to be running a bit hotter than before. What really concerns me is that, when the engine is warmed up, if I stop and idle it for 30 seconds or so, the engine starts making what to my semi-practiced (but new to VWs!) ear sounds perhaps like valve, lash adjuster, or camshaft bearing clatter. The sound emanates from the rear/cylinder 3-4 area, away from belt-driven accessories, etc. Does this sound like an early symptom of sludge, perhaps associated with insufficient oil pressure at idle? Given my history of frequent oil changes and otherwise by-the-book or better maintenance, I would not have expected to be a sludge victim at 23K miles. I suppose I could have just installed a defective brand-new Bosch filter, or I suppose the synthetic oil could have loosened some sludge from my dinosaur days, but these seem like real stretches for an explanation. Any suggestions regarding diagnostics?

Cons: valve, lash adjuster clatter
