Personally I would not delete the proportioning valve. I run 304x25mm front with AP Racing calipers and stock MKIII rear disks with MKIV calipers. The stock MKIII proportioning valve can be adjusted to the point there is too much rear bias.

Pros: adjustable, avoids rear bias

Cons: too much rear bias

To change oil for a 2011 VW golf, you do need a special oil filter wrench (14 Points, 74mm),as the new german cars are using a cartridge type oil filter. I got mine from ebay, made of cast aluminium, works like a charm.

Pros: works like a charm

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 6140 km

Part number: HU 719/6X

Hmm, I find my Golf TDI brakes to be excellent. Havent tracked them, but have punished them on occasion with liberal use of power on the highway, even combined with going down hill, and have never experienced fade.

Pros: brakes are excellent

Cons: havent tracked them

Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "

Pros: TBN still okay

Cons: aluminum and copper high

Mileage: 9979 km

Leaks:

im glad others have had a positive experience but mine was not so good. Used one once on my old Golf and it came apart inside the housing. Wrote a letter, they said it was an isolated few that were assembled poorly. Got reimbursed and coupon for other K&N products.

Pros: Got reimbursed for product

Cons: came apart inside housing
