Liquimoly is more expensive, sure, but that’s what I buy. Comes in a nice little kit with a filter and I know I don’t have anything to worry about.
Pros: comes in kit
Cons: more expensive

Pros: dirt cheap, meets specs

I believe BOSCH were the OEM for the spark plugs on these. I went with Copper/Nickel plugs the the originals were Platinum, again I believe, I'm not 100 percent on that. I'm using a shortened maintenance schedule because I use the car for Auto and Rallycross so I'm ok with changing the plugs a bit more often.
Pros: ok with changing often

In addition, replaced air filter and cabin filter with Mann products at approx. 10,000 miles.

The previous iteration fit my VW perfectly. This latest doesn\u2019t even click into place (tried 3). Ended up paying 2x on the Bosch at CT but at least it works.
Pros: at least it works
Cons: doesn't click into place

My GTI’s water pump shat itself around 60k kilometres too :( going strong since but it’s a very common fault unfortunately
Pros: going strong since

A couple weekends ago I first tried to tackle the issue with the brake pedal nearly hitting the floor while driving, I figured it was do to the brakes needing to be bled, so on a weekend I put the car up in the air, proceeded to snap both bleeder screws on the calipers, swap on used ones off my red 16v and bleed the brakes.
Pros: bled the brakes
Cons: pedal felt like crap
