Finally managed to change wiper blades on my 2019 VW Atlas with Bosch ICON Wipers. To all who could be interested - use adaptor 4 (it should come along with others - 1,2 and 6). And process itself should be straightforward once you manage to remove original one on ICON
New tires: Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 - These have a slightly higher score and are cheaper than the Pilot Sport 4S so I thought I'd give them a try.
The pad material composite can be upgraded to extend mileage adding replacement parts like Bosch or Zimmermann (OEM suppliers) that are the same or better than stock.
I've had really good luck after swapping to R1 Concepts pads and rotors on my Taos. no brake dust and predictable stopping.
I have some lighter rear rotors that are OEM sized saved 5lbs along with stainless brake lines and the brake master cylinder brace that keeps it from flexing on firewall...all from ECS to be paired with EBC reds up front and blues in the rear. IMO it was the quickest way to liven up braking capability without getting into big brake kits.
I had a spare intake so I took the two sensors from that fuel rail and swapped those along with a Mann 6.6 bar fuel filter onto the car. Started the car and it turned on and ran wonderful (so it seemed).
The only thing I\u2019ve ever had go bad in my four years of ownership are glow plugs.
My 2014 Passat with the 1.8T and automatic is at 175k. Timing chain is making noise so yeah that\u2019s due.
I worked on a 2.5L 4 cylinder Passat not too long ago and the drain plug was a nightmare to get off, the oil filter needed a special socket- it was like a 32mm internal hex- I needed to borrow from a master tech
The only thing wrong with them are they are too soft, organic pads. Switch to a metallic pad.
