Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
I have been using 15W-50 Mobil 1 in the '92 Jetta for the past 130K miles (it has 264K miles total on it !!!). It doesn't leak or burn a drop and it is all original (best motor I have ever had!!!).
I recently put in Shell Rotella t, 15w 40 and it seems to work a lot better than the castrol 15w 40
When I bought my 85 Vanagon used, it needed new tires, I went with some Dunlops that I wasn't very impressed with. Plus they were summer only. In 2000 I bought some Nokian snow tires that I was very impressed with. If I held on to the van I would have probably tried one of their summer or all season tires.
I'll second the continentals. I have them on my car for 2000 miles now and I think they are a great tire, good traction in all conditions. I had 205/50's on my car before and to me, they look too small in the wheel well. Just my opinion.
Last time I tried the 3922s and I was pleasently surprised with how smooth the car runs. I haven't had a misfire code since I changed over.
I've had much success with BERU plugs on all of my VW's, especially my 16V's. Beru maks the stock/replacement plugs for Porsche, VW and Audi (I work at a Porsche dealership, I see it all the time)
i had a buddy purchase me a set of bosch platinum plugs. i installed the plugs this morning before going to work, removing the old plugs, i found the number 1 and number 2 are wet with fuel. after installing the platinum plugs, i cranked the engine. and it started! the idle was smooth. i took my vw to work today, and the engine pulled smoothly in all rpms!
At low speeds, ASW uses the ABS sensors and brakes the spinning wheels, which will affect the life of the front brake pads (at least, that's how I understand it).
I saw a dude with a magnaflow for a gti last weekend. The resonator was rattling. He sent it back, they sent a new one with no flare to adapt it to the rest of the piping.
