K&N › Air filter

crazydriver 25 Jun 2004, 14:19

Rating 4.0

Power:

The K&N drop in is nice. I don't want to do a CAI, so it's a good compromise. I don't know if there is much perfomance gains, the 1.8T feels a little stronger with the drop in filter. The sound is great though. I put my new filter in last weekend and took a friend out and he was loving the sound of the turbo and DV coming through the stock air box. Nothing too crazy like a CAI or BOV, but it definetly makes alittle more noise.

Pros: good compromise, feels stronger, great sound, more noise

The 3 vanagons I owned, seemed to do the best on GTX 20w50.

Pros: best performance

Vehicle: Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen › Brake discs

Braking:

Stopping is sharp and sudden, with a seemingly discordant combo of 13-inch discs up front and 10-inch discs in the rear.

Pros: sharp and sudden

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I stick to Castrol GTX 20W50. Use a Mann or Mahle filter only. Bosch if you're in a pinch.

The VW filter from the dealer was beefy. I like it.

Pros: beefy filter

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mobil › Engine oil

As for oil, I suggest using Mobil 1 0w40. They recently started carrying this in town and my mpg has improved with it.

Pros: improved mpg

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

DUNLOP › Tires

RiskMan 13 May 2004, 01:25

Rating 4.0

Grip:

I am on my second set of SP5000's also on my Passat. They are a great UHP all-season tire. The big knock on them is quick wear, even with a 340 treadwear rating.

Pros: great UHP all-season tire

Cons: quick wear

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Grip:

The SP5000s were the tires I had on my MkII when I sold it. They were +2 and the best tire that I ran on that car in 13 years.

Pros: best tire, great performance

K&N › Air filter

Bigtop 25 Jan 2004, 00:13

Rating 3.0

Power:

Just installed the K & N filters. Whoever, designed the air filter housings is a complete and utter moron! It is inexcusable at how difficult it is too change out the passenger side filter. What were they thinking. I had to chop with a knife the existing filter (passenger side only) to get it out of the tiny gap that is available. The 'G' clips are not hinged to fold back, so they act as great hooks to snag the filters. Then had to vacuum out the housings to make sure I did not leave any debris before installing the K & N's. One of the main benefits of the K & N's is that they are slimmer that the OEM's and will therefore be easier to access for future maintenance as they will slip in and out of the housings easier. THe reason I bought them is I have had good experiences with them in the past, I live at 10,000 feet and any extra air my engines can get makes a big difference!

Pros: slimmer, easier maintenance

Cons: difficult installation

Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg

RED LINE › Gear oil

vwbrvr6 17 Jul 2003, 18:42

Rating 1.0

I disagree with any redline product. I've had 3 VW's always used VW gear oil, never a tranny problem. My Scirocco has 160,000 miles and the tranny has never been touched. Whenever I hear of someone haveing major tranny problems needing a rebuild I've always asked if they were using Redline, and the answer is always yes. See, it is much too slippery for VW transmissions. Yeah your gonna clear up your second gear grind and smooth up the shifts but you causing damage to other parts of the tranny like bearings.

Pros: smooth up the shifts

Cons: damage to bearings

Vehicle: Volkswagen Scirocco

Mileage: 160000 km
