Wix › Oil filter

Robert Roberts 30 Mar 2010, 14:11

Rating 5.0

Leaks:

Clean Throttle Body, Clean MAF, Change air-filter if needed (manual recommends every two years unless you live in a dusty environment), change fuel filter ( depending on mileage or time. I do mine every two or three years, if it has never been done, do it). Run a good injector cleaner through (Chevron Techron if you can find it)the fuel system, then run another tank of gas through, and then do an oil change with synthetic oil and a good quality oil filter (Wix are good (napa) or any of the OE/OEM German filters like mann, mahle or bosch.).

Pros: good quality oil filter

Rating 4.0

Grip:
Noise:

I ran s.drives on my mk5 for a little while (ended up getting rid of them because some jackass at the tire place used the wrong wheels weights and the tires cupped badly) I was pretty happy with them, stuck well, not too loud (but had some noise for sure), and decently priced.

Pros: stuck well, decently priced

Cons: some noise

Autolite › Glow plug

QuantumSyncro 8 Jan 2010, 21:15

Rating 3.5

Cold start:

Long before I read all that bad stuff online about the Ford crowd having trouble with autolite gp's I installed them in my 86 Golf and have been on the same gp's now for at least five years. I'm sure they need to be checked but I can't say much bad about them tbh.

Pros: lasted at least five years

Cons: need to be checked

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

EBC › Brake pads

mdt 12 Jan 2006, 23:35

Rating 1.5

Braking:

fast road pads like EBC Greens are actually slower to operate from cold. So much so that I nearly failed to stop for a pedestrian crossing one cold morning soon after start up. I simply wasn't expecting my pads to be so bad first thing. With the soft stock pads you get an intial bite that you don't get with fast road pads. This is a world away from the EBC Greens on 280mm brakes that used to get totally chewed up in one day at Sandown. Or the EBC Reds that disintegrated entirely.

Cons: slower to operate cold, no initial bite, chewed up on track
