I\u2019ve been using Akebono pads on my Mk4 20AE for a while and have been very happy with them. Very low dust. They don\u2019t have the initial bite of a stock pad but I\u2019ve never had an issue with the braking performance. I use them for hpde track days also. Additionally, very easy on rotors.
I used Zimmerman rotors and OEM TRW pads in the back, no dust.
You can look into Nexen. Korean brand. Not as cheap as the Chinese brands but not as expensive as the known brands. I fitted these on my Tiguan last year. Take my anecdotal experience with a grain of salt, but the ride felt quieter with the Nexens vs the Bridgestones it had on before.
Moly is 100000% better than whatever the fuck they use at the dealer. I swear, the moment I decided to start taking my VW to an indie shop that works on exclusively German cars, and asked them to use LiquiMoly, my car has run significantly better.
2.5 motors can go 600k on original chains.
I have the same year and trim and tires. Just went in today for the 30K check (30,500 miles), and I have 5/32 on the front, 2/32 on the back. I am planning on changing all four now, just debating which tires to get. I'll probably get the Kumho Crugen's again, as they seemed really quiet.
VW Touareg V6 roughly $600 at an independent euro mechanic for regular service
My previous MK7 GTI used a quart about every 3K miles from the day it was new until I traded it at 212K.
this just happened on my 2016 VW Golf. i had no evidence of oil leaking and no low oil lights came on. suddenly the oil pressure light came on and i pulled over within a couple of blocks. by the time it was towed to the garage, they found the oil pan cracked and caused enough damage to the engine that it needs replacement. This seems outrageous to me.
I have a 2019 GTI with 65k km. I decided to do plugs and when I saw how expensive OEM were, I said screw that, i'm going to try the iridium auto value basic ones. I thought the difference in quality would be negligible. I ran the Autolite XP5325 plugs without gapping. All seemed fine but then when pulling on to highway under load at 3k + RPM, misfiring like crazy.
