I did. Driver's side <2 minutes; passenger side required a plasma donation. Very, very tight fit. More induction song now, but the regular paper filters are so big I doubt that limited air flow is a problem.
i run the G12 - every vw i ran G11 in, the coolant broke down after 5k miles, but the minute i swiched to g12, i have yet to have a problem
The mk3 came with G11 coolant. The mk4 came with G12 coolant. I'm running G12 in a well-flushed mk3 radiator, and I have no problems.
I have a 2002 and my wipers (when I actually use them) work perfectly and miraculously have not dry rotted yet either. As a matter of fact, when I do have to replace them, I will make it a point to get them through VW, as they have been the best wipers I've had on any car I've owned. It's not the fact that they work well that has impressed me. It's the fact that they haven't dry rotted because all the other wipers I've had have been replaced yearly because after 7 or 8 months of not using them, they suck when I actually have to use them.
Replaced both wipers with a Bosch wiper and arm that has a little window that changes color when needs replacement. Works incredibly well, and so quiet, no chatter or streaking on either side.
Same plugs I'm currently running - used them with my Jacobs ignition, and they work like a champ.....
NGK v-power's. they are the entry level plug but they work awesome. there's no real need to get super pimp plugs though, i mean, it's not like they are going to add 10hp or anything
I tried both Golf GTI with 195/65-15 and the R32 with 225/40-18 last winter, and the R32 was much better to drive even if the tyres are wider. I have 225/45-17 today (winter tyres, without spikes of course!) and they are awesome. Quite, nice handling
I've run the platinum +4s in my GTI and I haven't had any problems but I haven't found them to feel any different than any other plug.
ultimately you will need a new caliper, because the parking brake mechanism ins't rebuildable by itsself. It's a common vw problem, actually, both my parking mech's are seized. just don't use the e-brake. and don't buy a rebuilt caliper - they never last.
