Wipe quality:

I put on Bosch Icons at the start of the winter and they've held up decently well. Not spectacular when there's ice build up on the windshield but otherwise good

Pros: held up decently well, good performance

Cons: not good with ice build-up

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Loose feel:

Changing these for the Meyle HD or TTRS bushings makes a huge difference in the steering feel of these cars.

Cranking:

I've got a '13 R with KESSY and NAV. that had a weird slow start, which made me think the KESSY swt. was worn like another thread mentioned. So I tore it apart and it was dirty on the contacts so I cleaned them. After that it seemed better but the car had 30+K miles and I did get another weird slow start, so I tested the battery and it tested good/charge. I did end up replacing the battery. I haven't had any issues since then. Now at 52K miles.

Pros: no issues since then

Cons: weird slow start

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 83686 km

Right on the package, in a star burst on mine. Unmissable. If you can't see it, it's not ClearMax, just regular, and those Icons definitely will not fit Mk 7 R.

Pros: clearly marked on package

Cons: regular icons will not fit

Wipe quality:

Bosch Icons The Bosch Icons do fit the 2016 R, as I just successfully installed them. You need to find the ones that are clearly marked on the outside as "Clearmax 365" which is the newest version, and it comes with a small plastic bag inside containing two optional adapters, one being the #4 that we need for the R. You snap off the adapter that is shipped from the factory installed on the blade, and replace it with the #4 adapter which allows it to fit perfectly on the R. The install instructions that come with the blade leave a lot to be desired, so just make sure you install the new adapter with the arrow pointing in the same direction as the one on the blade.

Pros: fit perfectly, newest version with adapters

Cons: install instructions lacking

Ordered these from Valeo (VM387) for my R and my gf's MK7 GTI. They already came with the adapters installed and took all of 2 minutes to replace them. They perform great too. :thumbup: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SRACAOO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pros: perform great, easy to install

Aim:

I am not at stock height, but I have changed the headlight aiming. What I look for is that the cutoff point is about at the trunkline of cars in front of me and that seems to work well.

Pros: cutoff point at trunkline

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

EBC › Brake pads

Braking:

StopTech slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads. Rotors and pads have one track day on them and a few thousand commuting miles. My OEM rotors with the same brand pads lasted 4-5 track days and 30k miles.

Cons: vibration under braking, shuddering
