Engine noise:

After break in, I started using Rotella 5w40 synthetic, as I got better mileage with it. It's looking like a 5w may be way too thin for these old motors, and perhaps I should have stuck with a 15w40!

Pros: better mileage

Cons: may be too thin

Starting:

Look out for tensioner. Somewhat large maintenance at 40k intervals. (DSG fluid and filter, haldex fluid). Oil changes every 5-10k. Spark plugs every 40k a good ideal imo as well.

Pros: Spark plugs good ideal

Cons: large maintenance

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 40000 km

Grip:
Noise:

I had Michelin X-Ice 2 on mine (and didn't like them - not enough actual snow traction, ice traction was good of course, so was dry/wet performance and noise/comfort). The TDI engine was easily able to overpower the front wheels while starting...

Pros: good ice traction

Cons: not enough snow traction

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf
