Autolite › Spark plug

ElectricCo 10 Aug 2002, 20:47

Rating 4.0

i just changed mine out.. i put in the autolite 3923's ($4 for the set) . they seem to work fine. one thing to watch out for though - they were all gapped differently out of the package. be sure to measure the gap before putting them in, just in case. (the gap should be .028)

Pros: seem to work fine

Cons: gapped differently

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Part number: 3923

Rating 4.5

Braking:

Hey guys new flash, "rust free coating" wairs of your rotors veeeeeery fast, it might last a month. MIGHT think about it. ive had all three on various cars. right now i have zimmermans on my Corrado, and am very vappy with there performance. about the same as slotted

Pros: very happy with performance

Cons: rust free coating wears fast

Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

ATE › Brake discs

Braking:

I have ATE powerdiscs on front and Zimmerman Xdrilled on rear. They both rust. I haven't had any problems yet with warping on either but I installed them about 2-3 monthes ago. I've heard that the Xdrilled can begin cracking around the holes so I'm watching out for this. So far I'm happy with the setup. I also have the mintex redbox pads. Slightly better than OEM and a whole lot less messy. My rims don't collect much dust anymore.

Pros: Slightly better than OEM, less messy

Cons: can begin cracking

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mobil › Engine oil

Bora18t 11 Jul 2002, 03:28

Rating 4.0

Here's something kinda interesting, when using Mobil 1 5w30, I experienced a higher rate of oil consumption than with Mobil 1 0w-40...I was losing approx .5 quarts every 2k miles...the 0w-40 loses nothing between 3k...

Pros: 0w-40 loses nothing

Cons: higher oil consumption

Vehicle: Volkswagen Bora

Bosch › Spark plug

Acceleration:

i needed to upgrade, all i could get my hand on were the Bosch Platinum 4's and im highly pleased. I noticed the very meager difference immediately when it came to the power. Also, i noticed a marginal difference in the gas mileage as well.

Pros: improved power, better gas mileage

Vehicle: Volkswagen

K&N › Air filter

Rating 4.0

Power:

i have it in my 2002 passat gls and seems to be working fine so far for 500miles. I guess it does help gas milage a bit from what i've seen so far and helps a bit when carrying maximum passengers (5) in the vehicle cause i need all the torque i can get. Every little bit counts

Pros: working fine, helps gas mileage, helps with torque

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mileage: 500 km

K&N › Air filter

Rating 4.0

Power:

I had my K&N drop-in installed around 5,000 miles ago by a local, independent VW mechanic. Works great. No idea whether or not there's more power, just care that I don't have to keep buying and tossing paper ones.

Pros: works great, no need to buy paper filters

Cons: uncertain power gain

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 5000 km

MICHELIN › Tires

Xman 25 Jun 2002, 15:56

Rating 4.0

Grip:

The car still has the stock Michelin MXV4 Plus 205/55 16H tires. I do not dispute that true snow tires outperform them. These tires suffice for both good and bad weather until one obtains more specialized sets for the seasons one encounters in their area. I plan on getting 17x8 wheels with Kumho 712s for the summer, and going with these for the winter until they wear out. Regardless, 4Mo provides superior safety and handling in any situation.

Pros: suffice for good and bad weather, superior safety and handling

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

K&N › Air filter

jimb 19 Mar 2002, 18:28

Rating 3.0

Power:

I have had a K&N in my 1999 Passat for over 20,000 miles. No CEL's or any other problems. I didn't notice any siginificant performance gains, possibly a 1 mpg increase in gas mileage. To be safe, I haven't put a K&N in my 2001.

Pros: no CELs, no problems, slight gas mileage increase

Cons: no significant performance gains, potential incompatibility with newer models

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mileage: 20000 km

Bilstein › Shock absorbers

Body bounce:
Bottoming:

My car is out of alignment too (neuspeed sport springs/bilstein shocks/17" rims). From what I am told, after having the car aligned 3 times, the only way I can get it back into alignment is to reinstall the stock springs / shocks.

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
